Decoding type numbers and engine number - new kid 120-130

Hi All

Here is my first question to the forum, after receiving a very warm reception from you all. My good body's type number 133942/9 makes sense and according to the amazon register spec table, puts at the 1968 model year, if I remember correctly. My rust bucket (the driver), is peculiar though as its type number is 123942 (checked this twice), and according to the same spec table, i should be owning a stationwagon and not a sedan, unless I misread something.

The second point of confusion pertains to the engine number, expecting a six digit number I have 1000214 which is seven digits. It is a volvo engine though, with twin su, dual downpipe setup, and the engine number was where my haynes manual said it would be. There were also three other plates, with numbers along the fender in the engine bay, the meaning of which I dont know. They are K221, 58537 and 230150. I dont know if this had anything to do with the fact that the vehicle was imported in complete knockdown form and assembled locally.

Your assistance is shedding some light on what I have will be much appreciated.

Let the saga begin

Regards

Jayce
