Canuck 1965 Valiant VIN/Fender Tag Decoding Mystery
Hi all,
I've got a weird one for you all. I was able to make some headway with figuring these plates out but I've been stumped on finding anything for the second one. (see photos of both plates and info attached).
Here's what I have for the first plate. This one says "VEHICLE NO." and is stamped stainless steel. It was glued to the inside of the drivers door jam, which I read was apparently done instead of riveting until 1966. Source: Decoding VIN I.D. 1962 to 1965 Mopar
As far as decoding the tag, I'm pretty confident I got it right thanks to a previous post. This is number is also listed as the cars VIN in the ownership.

V3E59139221
V - Valiant/Barracuda
3 - "High Performance" Slant 6 (Had High Performance carb option so makes sense)
E - Convertible
5 - 1965 Year
9 - Windsor Assembly Plant (Canada)
139221 - Sequence number, 139,221 Made
Here is where it gets tricky. The second tag was found screwed into the drivers side inner fender. Where a typical fender tag would usually be located.
Here is what is written on each line:
A-VI-H-27
111
EE
H4B
On the left hand side you can barely make out what used to be labels for each of the rows. I think the bottom one says "TRIM CODE".
All replies appreciated. Even if you don't know how to decode it I would love to know what it originally looked like so I can try to clean it up.
Thank you all for your time!
