Nope, not a misprint.

Body numbers don't start with 100xxx. Don't confuse the body number on the cowl tag (which is established in the body shop, and is useful only internally) with the build sequence number/VIN sequence portion (affixed later in the process and which is used in the rest of the manufacturing process and out in the "real world").
