My car is A8-2350, Chassis 79784, Body No on hinge 3513.
I have always assumed that the RK saloon framing is pretty well identical between Aluminium and fabric.
These bodies are flimsy and I suspect that the doors were individually fitted to the frame and then removed for skinning. My guess is that the number on the hinges was there to ensure it went back on the same body.
I therefore assume that the transmission tunnel number would be the same as the number on the hinge.
There would be no RK & RF on the tunnel because that wouldn't be known until the body was skinned either in aluminium or fabric after the numbering had been done.
That's my guess anyway.
The body type, RN, RP etc appears on the tunnel of those cars.
