Can a body style be determined from the embossed number on the firewall?

Is there anyway the body style can be determined from the large, embossed numbers on the engine side of the firewall? Here is a firewall from a 1936 Twelve and was curious as to what the original body may have been. Thank you in advance.

Most likely not. But now that Dave, Owen_Dyneto, is back from his northern sojourn a definitive answer may soon be to hand.

Mal, thanks for the "welcome back"!

No, theft-proof numbers cannot identify a body style.
