If its the same as the Indian frames, the number between the frame serial and vin was a country code - which country it was intended for. i.e. 22/2 * 02 * xxxxxx would be for whatever country they designated 02 to be.

I think 02 was the UK as a GP frame I bought in the UK in the late 80s was stamped 22/2*02*00x09x.
