Comparing my tag to the one you shared, the differences are:

- last 5 digits of the 7 digit sequence are different. Might be an internal serial number.
- 4th row begins with 278. 2 is probably leather and 78 is the upholstery color code.
- 7th row has 355 H. Probably paint and manufacturer code as you pointed out. My car is diaminblau. Was
- 8th row has code 491 in place of your 494. 491 is US version, 494 is California version. My car was delivered new in Texas.

Does any part of the first row correspond to the 124133.12.XXXXXX form VIN in the EPC datacard? You'd have to know the US VIN of the pnp car.

My car has leather, memory driver seat and telescoping steering column. The last two don't seem to be noted in the tag.

FWIW, I believe the serial number digits in the US VIN (WDB) do not correspond to the serial number digits in the 124133.12.XXXXXX form VIN.

I'll bet the folks in the vintage forum know more about these tags.
