Sounds like you have a base alteration only car then. The supplemental passenger side sticker would list any additional SLP options, if so equipped.

Mobil 1 was the factory fill for C5 Corvette (in fact, I seem to recall it became the standard factory fill for Corvette starting in 1992), but Castrol was used for the optional synthetic package offered on SS. Here's the decal issued to a 2000 SS that was ordered with this option:

Nope, they all went to SLP. SLP did the base alterations as well. But there were a number of optional items that could be ordered, though not all SSs were ordered with any or all of these. If yours wasn't ordered with additional content above and beyond the base SS package, then you wouldn't have received the supplemental sticker since there would be nothing to print on it.
In the earlier years, SS cars that received additional (optional) content could also be identified by the "Y2Y" RPO on the SPID sticker (in addition to the "WU8" code that indicated base SS content.) At some point, the "Y2Y" RPO began to be used on all SS models, even if they weren't ordered with any additional content. I don't recall which year this started, but the reasoning had something to do with it being easier for the buyer to add additional SLP content later in the build process should they so choose....or at least that's the explanation I've heard several times over the years.
Not many folks specifically looking for Pewter, you're one of the few I've ever heard say that. I had two of them in Pewter myself, I regretted it both times as the color just never grew on me. But color preference is totally subjective.

You mean the SPID or the supplemental SLP sticker?
The SPID cannot (or perhaps just will not) be reprinted by GM, but there are a couple places that reproduce these for body shops doing collision repair. ESC Auto is one such place, but some of these companies will only sell to body shops due to fraud concerns. I've tried to get reprints from GM before, but several dealers have told me this is impossible (one time it was due to an assembly line mistake, I bought a brand new vehicle with the wrong SPID, VIN didn't match, but they still couldn't do anything but give me a paper printout of the correct RPOs for my VIN.)
As for the SLP sticker, I honestly have no idea if you could get a new one from SLP. My guess would be no, but I've never tried this myself nor known anyone else who has either.
