I have a 72 1600 and have the same deal.. a tag on the RH fender area with P510 xxxxxxx which is different to the one stamped into my firewall, which is different to the one stamped on my plate on the LH strut tower. when they licensed the FJ they got confused so they stamped a 5 digit VIN into the top of the LH strut tower and put a code on the computer to say that on inspection check for VIN on LH strut tower top.
