My March 77 Java Green car has this plate with all the detail filled in (I have ommited the comm number)

My Feb 78 red shell has this plate, noticed the 'paint' box is not stamped at all and the comm number has an 'A' following it

The part numbers on the VIN plate have changed, the weight has gone up, but strange that the colour is not stamped [?]
Cheers, Paul
