Can anyone out there help resolve something that has me curious (I must get out more). I'm now on my second Chim and this one has two plates on the drivers side wing that arn't on any other one I've seen!!

The first says British National Type Approval followed by a number and immediately underneath it is another one with a whole list of different categories that are mainly blank. In the category E11 mine has two (???) numbers identified both beginning with 10R with the first ending .400 (presmably 4.0L) and the second ending in .430 (Presumably 4.3L?). My query is..what is it telling me and why do I have two...which hint at different engine sizes??? The engine plate says 400.

I think my car was destined for overseas (Larger cerbi fans and factory fitted oil cooler). Anyone advise this sad person with nothing better to wonder about?

I have 2, but not of equal size (I believe this is normal ?)
