I've seen copies of that same list being circulated before.
It is full of 'issues' - how many "6 hole" Camaro and Nova wheels have you seen ;)

According to the application documents I have;
The "XB" was first used on 1968 models, it replaced the 67 'DG' series.
The "YW" is the replacement for the "XB" that was phased out in late 68 (early 69 model production).

There are small differences in the material cross-section and the Taper for the Bead-seat on these rims. The earlier (5 deg. taper) rims can be used for both tubed and tubeless tires - the later (15 deg.) rims can only be used with tubeless tires.
