The plate you show is the Vehicle Serial Number plate.
You plate's code is not the format/codes used for a Vehicle Serial Number; the codes shown on the Serial Numbers Specifications page links that Tiny & I linked-to above.
Your plate has the Engine Serial Number code stamped on it.
The Engine Serial Number is stamped into the block/crankcase at the rear of the distributor.
Walter, what code is on your 1947 Vehicle Serial Number plate?
Is it an Engine code format or a Vehicle code format?

Do you both have the same code on your engine and on you door-jamb plate?
