engine numbers and codes

On filling out my renewed membership letter from the Packard Club I was checking the numbers on the car. My 51 is a 200 four door sedan, originally turquoise blue light. On the data plate on the door, it reads 2492 (base model) then I8926. Any idea as to what the second number means?

Also, while working on installing the radio, I found a brass metal tag under the dash, about 2 inches long with these numbers:
"429193 MC", then on the second line "P" and "D".

The theft proof number is A87238.

Any suggestions? thanks
