    Does the letter at the end of the chassis number being different mean anything ?

    Different to what? The chassis number and the number on the ADR plate look the same to me: BHJ10949B.

    the letter at the front has nothing to do with the letter at the end
    letter at front = series revision.. eg WB's ran for 5 years and start AWB,BWB, CWB,DWB and EWB,

    the letter at the end represent the factory, A Adel, B brisbane, M melb etc


    so a chassis with EWB12345A is an adelaide built WB that was probably built 1984...

    is this what you meant HXbunny?

    yep the letter of the tag is Sydney, but it's a xx7 with a brisbane chassis no.

    Look closely, it may be a B. The numerals are the same as the rails so it has to be either a B or a mistake. I can understand mistakes on any digit except for the last one, the Acacia Ridge plant should never have got an S mixed with a B.

    BHJ10949S is also a 1/75 or 2/75 number at the latest. BHJ10949B is a 3/75 number. I reckon if you pulled the plate off and cleaned it it'll be a B.
