M18 there probably applies to later Buses and M18 was something different for early Buses.
From
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/mcodest2.php
M18 is guessed to be sealed beam headlights on the early Buses
M86 is unknown but maybe something related to N/ American delivery
145 might be 6 pop-out windows... does your bus have that?
18 and 86 are pretty standard on a lot of N. American Commercial Buses from what I have seen.

I posted this on my build thread yesterday but I believe it might warrant some discussion over here as well

Yes my Kombi does have 6 side pop-outs. M114 on my BC is the 6 opening side windows. Do you think the 145 relates to this as well?

The M codes were "re-used" for other items over the years.
VW put out a publication in 1973 with a list of M codes, with many of them relating to later models rather than early models. I suspect the museum is using this for their code data.
As for the popouts, these codes changed for this option. In my literature I have 2 listings.
M114 6 outward opening side windows for Kombi and Bus - sourced from the 10/1955 VW Salesmans Catalog
M145 6 outward opening side windows for Kombi and Bus - sourced from the 8/1960 M Option Catalog

Nice work!
Maybe share that literature with Everett & Siftung Museum... so it can officially be put to rest.
Any othe codes in your literature that show up on the list as "unknown?"

I suspect the museum has all the literature to find these codes, but don't go actively looking for them.

Thanks for that - As you said they re-used some codes so one of those probably means something different for your year.

Anyone have the same M-Code, or have any idea what M-753 referred to? The Samba list has only "seen on UV-delivered '62 single cab." Mine is a UF (San Francisco) delivered '62 double cab...
Even the Birth Certificate from the Stiftung AutoMuseum I got has it as unknown...I suppose there has to be others out there, perhaps other 62's, and maybe someone has a hunch. Cheers.

What does that look like as the '62 you posted says "cyclone" and has a different m-code? |

'64 sunroof kombi. Looks to be a US serviceman vehicle. Built to USA specs, but delivered to Germany. The sunroof is a monster option to see on a kombi. Special order buses with good options are delicious.
