My first thoughts were trim and colour but there is no alignment there either
- Wedgwood Blue and Black interior with white top. The Commission Number
plates that showed paint and trim colours came much later. I also have
CT6716LO which is a 62 and it does not have this plate.

perhaps the 411 indicated exterior and interior colors, or it could be a
sequential number indicating the running total of that model delivered to West
Coast (West Coast Sales, for a number of years, had some separate arrangements
with the factory from other distributors--they even produced their own
technical bulletins).  I'm pretty sure my TR4 (CT2334L) was original when I
bought it used, and it did not have such a tag, and it came through the
distributor in New Jersey.
