On the top of the dash we read 846 euh 717 strange it s 846 pressed on the 2 front doors!

That is very strange. The 717 certainly looks like it belongs there while the 846 has a very strange appearance unlike any I've seen before. It does look like the 846 is crossed out with the same crayon with which 717 is written. The fact that the doors match the # 846 on the dash is curious, especially since the 846 on the dash seems to be written earlier than the VIN.

The certificate is missing the engine and transmission serial #'s normally found on a COA. It would be hard to prove matching numbers when the certificate does not provide them.

Thank you Dave,
You re right it s the first Time i see that,
For my motor's number,i just cross date of birth And correct period serial number motor.
For transmission , i don t know,
