The 'commision' number was usually of the form 'G.23 N. nnnnnn F.' on a
red-bordered plate. The number you quote is more like a car/chassis/VIN
(black-bordered), but has too many digits. Roadsters built in the 72/73 era
had numbers ranging from 268645 to 328101.
You can get a Heritage Certificate specifying actual build date (amongst
other things) via http://mossmotors.com/heritagemotorcentre/htc.html
