The unpainted tag probably has something like xxxxxCF on it, which is the
body number and would be confirmed on the Heritage Certificate for the car.
The other one is a bit of a mystery, but I have been told variously that it
was used as some sort of production or tracking number for the shell before
it went to the final assembly line. Jon Mac would know better about that
one.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
