Help! VIN numbers on chassis don't match the pink

[VWuprising]

Hoping someone can give me insight on this recent discovery. I recently purchased a 82 westy diesel and after registering with DMV discovered that the 4th digit (and only digit) in the VIN on the pink was different than the chassis. Its a Y on the pink and a Z on the chassis. I inspected the van carefully and it is clearly an original camper. My question, Is this likely to be just a DMV error along the way given all the other digits match? Also, is it worth it to get this sorted out at DMV or better off leaving things alone given that its already transferred and registered. The previous owner's pink was off by that single digit also. I do have paperwork from the original sale of the vehicle and the VIN on that paperwork matches the chassis. I do not have old registration slips prior to the previous owner who owned it for 5 years. Thanks, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

My 1960 Single Cab had a similar error when I purchased it in 1994. I slapped another plate on the car from my 63 Deluxe and just drove it while I sorted out the issues. I had ordered a title search based on the VIN, and the Title Number of my West Virginia Title that came with the Single Cab. Well it was traced back to Virginia from there and turned out that the WV title company transposed the VIN and The previous TITLE number. Fat finger dumb mistake. After a few months of this I finally received a clean Florida Title all numbers matching and very little cost total. I am just glad I never got pulled over with the 15 window plates on a Single Cab, and I was younger and dumber then.

I also had a (non-VW) car with a typo in the VIN - a '1' substituted for an 'L'. The car was old enough that the paperwork had at one point been done on a typewriter where a '1' and a lower case 'L' are indistinguishable.

I got it sorted out -- better now than when I sell the car or want to do something else where VIN & title would be compared.

What are the odds that another vehicle exists in a non-camper version (Y as the 4th digit instead of Z) but otherwise has the exact same VIN?

That makes me feel a little more reassured that something shady didn't happen.
