Lft Rear wheel arch #, where the heck did that come from?

["Richard Seaton" <rsh17@msn.com>]

 I am getting ready to install wheel arch splash guards from Vicky Brit and
noticed on the left rear wheel arch right above the shock link a number plate.
The # is 30081, it's a small plate spot welded in the wheel arch. Does anyone
know what this # might have been used for?
  The Body # inside the engine compartment is 27462CC, VIN # CC27431L,
1969TR6.
  I'm just curious as to why it is there. Do latter TR's have this # or is it
just the early ones?
