I did a research project on these "body numbers" a few years ago.
It was for the Sprite Newsleter. All Bugeyes had a number stamped in the
body near the right bonnet hinge, and it was close to but not the same
as the chassis ID#.
All other (square body) spridgets have the chassis ID stamped in the
frame near the front shock mount. This number is supposed to match the
chassis ID (VIN#)
