A VIN number in the UK is the Chassis number.

Have you found your M Code Plate?. I don't know where it is on a Late Bay but on my 69 is it behind the left hand side cab seat (it's a RHD Bus).

Have you tried the decoder which will tell you a bit of the original spec of your bus.

does the M-plate location matter if it is a mid 90s made in Brazil? Mid 80s? My point being plate locations moved around bays being build in Germany, so what about Brazil?
Same with the vin.... is the same numbering method used on those busses from Braz as from Germ? OPs weird number could be perfectly normal.
