I can probably answer some of those questions. In numbers with an X, this is a place holder which was not used until ADR's were introduced. The letter D denotes a list of ADRs which would have applied to this vehicle. We left it as X since there could be several letters which could go here. THe unformatted list below shows what the letters mean, but for the online tool, it will only accept the X.
Our web site will show what was supposed to happen with vehicle identification, not what actually happened. In many cases, vehicles were wrongly stamped. As a fixed point of reference, we stay with the official intention rather than what was actually stamped.
There are no plans to update the web site at this stage.

Its a shame the decoder has a few chassis prefixes incorrect. An ammendment or update would be good. Those lists getting around on the various club websites are just as bad.
