Can you guys help me decoding this?

Should this tag match the VIN Number?

I don't remember what year the 17 digit VIN numbers started, but I think 1972 might have been the old system. The second row looks like it should at least partially match the VIN, for example, it looks like a 116 with an automatic transmission.
