Build Plates

[RScapriman]

Hi All, does anyone know how to decode the painted build plate? Does each model follow the same format? as in Escort ,Capri ,Granada I am guessing they do.
So the top row would be:- Order source, Assembly Plant, Model, Body Type, Year of manufacture, month of manufacture, Serial Number, ?, ?, Basic Version, RHD/LHD, Engine code(1st part).
So can anyone fill in what the two question marks mean? on the plate itself they are dashes(-)
The second row consist of 12 digits or dashes as does the third row and the fourth row 8 digits or dashes.

top line 2 dashes relate to special options, K3 black paint, X0 has something to do with later RS1800s

This maybe of help, shame it doesn't help me with the RSi but I'm on with that manually!
