Decode VIN plate on Ford Puma

[Vivmeister]

Does any one know what the letters and numbers mean that are on the left hand side of the VIN plate? I know about the VIN number and decoded that.

But I have no clue how to find out about the others?

Anybody got a clue?

Amonst others they are the gearbox ratio codes, colour code, trim spec and so on.
