Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen

I recieved my VW "birth certificate" from Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen in the mail yesterday. I also recieved a letter that states that my current engine isn't the original engine. I suspected it wasn't because it has and AB code and that wasn't used in a super.

Here are what my extra / option codes are. I'm going to try to get more information on them.
M 002 US Equiment
M 290 Mud flaps, rear
M 698 Unknown, Seen on 1973 Beetle
M 699 Unknown, Cannot be identified

Here is a great link from TheSamba.com that has a lot of option codes.
