Basically just that it is an optional moulding that you could order and as you state, it is the divider moulding that would go on if the car has a vinyl roof or is a two tone. Strictly an appearance thing and seems to be very common on Canadian Pontiacs, especially Beaumonts.

yup, the green/gold 2+2 I had also had that option. That car was green body / gold painted roof and had a stainless piece dividing the two. Probably the same stainless piece that was used if the car had a vinyl roof. D99 was listed on the trim tag.
In the U.S. D99 was for 2-tone paint, but in Canada you could order the D99 2-tone paint division moldings by themselves even without 2-tone paint. I can't recall offhand, but it seems to me that D99 moldings were $9, while D99 with 2-tone paint was $17 (I'm talking 1967 dollars).

My dad's 67 Beaumont Custom has the D99 option without two tone paint or vinyl roof. Mine does not. I like that option and have considered adding it to my car but I don't see me taking a drill bit to it...

The roof and body are then the same color, but has the D99 divider. I've seen that before.
So to get this straight, a solid colour car with the moulding will have D99 on the tag. A two tone car with the moulding will not have D99 on the tag?
In both instances (2-tone or monotone) a Canadian-built car will have D99 on the trim tag. A factory vinyl roof cover will not have D99 on the trim tag, it will have C08.
