What is M-code 10/11A?? (Baumuster)

[Beetle1950]

My 1950 standard Split Bug has got M-code / Baumuster 10/11 A.
Does anybody knows what this mean? I really can`t find it ...

I met someone who have also a 10/11 bug, and he told me it is a very rare car! Later on I discovered my bug is also a 10/11! (I forget to ask the name of the owner of that car )
I would like to know when a bug is a 10/11A car.

Thank you!

it means your car is a LHD Standard car...no export version, and yes it's a rare beast

Can someone tell me what this code means? From a 1951 (Type 1) Beetle
Update: I've included the picture of the full ID plate
Thanks!

That seems like the wrong plate for a Bug. I think the “E” is for Kubelwagen.

Got a picture of the vehicle in question?

I just ran it through Google AI. Here is what came back.

“ The phrase "Baumuster 10/12 E" refers to a rare German military version of the Volkswagen Kübelwagen, a World War II vehicle based on the VW Bug's mechanicals. It is not a version of the Beetle itself.

Here is a breakdown of the terms:
Baumuster: A German term meaning "design," "model," or "type". In the context of the military, it denotes a specific model designation.
10/12 E: The designation for a specific Kübelwagen variant.
The "10" may refer to the chassis or engine type.
The "12" is likely an internal military model identifier.
The "E" denotes the Kommandeurwagen 2WD model, which was essentially a Beetle body mounted on a Kübelwagen chassis.

What was the Kübelwagen?
A military Beetle: The Kübelwagen was a light military vehicle designed by Ferdinand Porsche for the German army during World War II.
Based on Beetle parts: It shared many mechanical components with the civilian VW Beetle (known internally as the Type 1), including the engine and drivetrain.
Key differences: The Kübelwagen featured a simplified, lightweight, open-topped body and a sturdier chassis. This gave it higher ground clearance and better off-road performance than the standard Beetle.”

Maybe right? Only you have the car.

Here's the Birth Certificate & Data Sheet hot off the press.

Guess I'll have to do some more "digging" to determine the significance of 10/12 on the VIN plate...

Perhaps it was a typo and should have been 11E.

My old 52 military 11E was also pressed 10/12.
another here in the gallery.

Same with my 11E, it was stamped 10/12. It also got me wondered at first but seems to be normal
