...am I reading my fender tag correctly...?

I've attached photos of the fender tag and broadcast sheet (as much as I found under the rear seat) in the hope that someone could decode my '73 SE properly. What I read is: "V7W 28 END M31 M36 N95 P31 R35 J25 J52 L31 M21 M25 M26 V1W U B41 G11 G35 M51 JY3 V3Y4 JY6 A19 186879 E63 D34 WP29 M36 129064" If I have erred in my observations let me know. Thanks in advance!  ::)

It's 3am my time so I don't have the time to decode it. Is there anything you wanted to know right away? Also you are reading it wrong you read it bottom to top not top to bottom

Of course you are right, I just did not think to reverse the order (even though it is only midnight here I am a bit punch drunk). When you get the time, I'd appreciate you giving  it a shot. My main puzzlement is option code "M51". If I'm reading it correctly I should have a power sunroof. But I don't have one.

Are you sure that the M is not a H if it is a M it is in the wrong place on the tag? H51 is for A/C

Look where I have circled your build sheet you will see H51 for a/c.

Morning.

When I said that the M51 was in the wrong place this is what I meant. The codes on a tag should be in order ABCD ect. This was a safe gaurd so that codes could not be added at a later date. This made the M code between a G & J codes all wrong.
