At this point you really have to decide which criteria you use for this
deciding.

I strongly suggest to use a uniqe ID for each row in the table(in your case
it is important):
CREATE TABLE "temp50" (
id serial primary key,
"gc" character varying(36),
"co" character varying(7),
"data" date,
"ora" smallint
);

Your selection can be made in many ways, but you have to decide the second
criteria.

One more thing:
Your table datas are:
1 >> 5003707G9G9419 22012BB 10-14-2004 82
2 >> 5003707G9G9419 22012BC 10-14-2004 44
3 >> 5003707G9G9419 22022BB 10-14-2004 82
4 >> 5003707G9G9420 22022BC 10-18-2004 49

The rows no 1 and 3 are "redundant" data's(they are the same). Do you really
want this???

Best regards,
Andy.
