Door Jamb Stickers US Options

[356drb]

Please forgive me if this has been discussed in the past. If so please direct me to the information.

I have found five types of door jamb stickers on US spec. cars. They are:

914-6 -- all are silver and have Porsche as the builder

The 914-4 types always say Volkswagenwerk AG

914-4/1 -- silver or black and do not have gross or axle rates -- used through at least 11/71

914-4/2 -- Says TYPE PASSENGER CAR lower right -- have only seen one dated 5/72 and has the weights and was black

914-4/3 -- Says TYPE PASSENGER CAR at the top, has weights and is silver or black -- have many data points from 8/72 - 12/74

914-4/4 -- Says TYPE PASSENGER CAR lower left, has weights and is silver or black -- used by at least 4/75

The silver and black seem to be used randomly (except on 914-6s). I have one of each dated 12/74. Any clues?

Does anyone know anything in addition and/or can you provide additional dates that can fill the gaps above?

The 914/6 one is very typical of the 914/6. The perforations are very regular. on the 471 following the perforations are terrible (original?); my type 1 in silver & black to end of Dec 1971. From Jan 1972 GVWR & GAWR with Type Passenger Car in lower right; my type 2 in silver & black to end of 1972 Model year. Type Passenger Car moves to upper left at beginning of 1973 model year (I have a gap between 06/72 4722920948 & 09/72 4732901102); my type 3 in silver & black to Jan 1975. My type 4 is also seen in Jan 1975; this is a major rejig of the locations of info, and Type Passenger Car moves to lower left, and Manufactured by Volkswagenwerk AG is now on the top line. My type 5 in silver & black is seen in Feb 1975, and Manufactured by Volkswagenwerk AG Germany is the new top line.
So type 4 is quite rare and lies in this range of about 1500 cars: 4752907672 (3) 4752908552 (4) 4752909126 (5)
