That could be what it is. The only thing odd is I have the original purchase documents and it was purchased under a "visit Germany" type of program. I'll access the papers and verify. It also seemed that the US version of EPCnet (free subscription) would only return hits on the original US purchased vehicles. That is the other reason I ended up perplexed. Once I know one way or the other, I'll PM you with what I find.

Thanks,
