The VIN plate for a BJ8 is in a place under the choke cable bracket that
makes it difficult to read clearly, especially if there is any surface
corrosion on the plate. 3, 5, and 8 can easily be misread for each other.
However, 36256 has body 81107.

""" By the body number given (81135), and by
reference to other cars in the registry, I can tell that the correct number
is probably HBJ8L/36236 (e.g., HBJ8L/36257 has body 81136)."""
Looking at your numbers could 36236 be 36256 with body 81135, that would
match up with the next chassis nr.
3, 5 and 8 can be easily misread for each other when the numbers are not
struck very clearly.
