The body number quoted is not complete, since the body number (the bottom line on the body plate) always is 5 numerical digits. "3198BJ8" is the top line on the body plate, and if this entire number is typed in as the body number it will truncate the actual body number. There are three digits after "74" that have been truncated.
Also, the engine number quoted is not original to chassis 29781, or it also has been truncated. If so, then there is one digit missing after "458".
One is left to wonder what good is data that is entered incorrectly, or that is truncated by the system?

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
