Two days ago I purchased a 1980 GL244 from the original owner. The VIN plate is my concern. The car was purchased in Saudi Arabia and is now in Cairo, Egypt. The VIN # on the plate is 2444A1541455 but the VIN # on the dashboard to the left of the driver is VC 24545A1274246. The dashboard could be a replacement but what about the number on the plate under the hood. Many I have chatted with say there is a number missing between the '4' and the 'A' but the plate number is very clear. Can anyone clear up this issue for me?

I have no owner's manual nor maintenance records.
