Does anyone know the split beetle model codes?

An 11/12 C would be a deluxe left hand drive without sunroof.

I have officially lost count of the number of times this has been covered.

Factory sunroof cars were stamped with 11G until sometime mid-1951
After that date, the VIN plate was stamped 12G. The modification from 11G to 12G included an additional 10kg of gross vehicle weight.
