It’s a sequential numbering system starting at zero and not ending.

Sorry, I couldn’t stop myself.

You can add your Karmann in the list. You see the online list here:
http://karmann1952.de/html/1952.html As with the body nr, I asume your is one of the last split converts or an early Oval dash zwitter convert.
I have no clue about he 77 digits.

Yes, in fact, it is an oval zwitter kabriolet which left the factory on October 26th, 1952. Please, see the link:
