Hi all - first post.

I have a 1947 Mercury I am trying to confirm which number is the VIN for registration purposes. There is a plate on the firewall with the word "Code - 032H47-1XXXXX", i have seen some same year units with this plate and the word "Serial" instead of code, and they are registered as this number. This number is also on the frame rail. Also on my frame rail is *799A-1XXXXXX*. I have also seen this one referred to as the vin.

Which of these numbers should be given to the insurer for registration/insurance purposes?

Thanks in advance.
