If you can get a clearer picture (scan it maybe) I can translate it.

My guess is it's the build card from the assembly line.

I am curious where you found it also - If it is a build card ... which I think it might be also you might have a real keepsake -

At first glance it looked like a plane ticket of some sort - However I can't see it very well.

i havent heard of it either.. i know in my 63 Ford Falcon, the build sheet was in the seat, tucked away and rotten.. i'm curious where this was located. i've been restoring RX-7's for 10 years and have gone through nearly 30 of them in that time frame and have yet to locate a build card....

I have that plus the original sticker from mazda when the owner bought it
they were all stored in the glovebox
the sticker shows that my rx7 got undercoating from the dealership and it costs 300 dollars
