The colour code in on a seperate tag plate
So far on your main VIN plate it translates in to:
WFO = Ford Werke A.G. (Germany)
B = 3 doors
XX
G = Ford Germany (own assembly)
K = Rheine (Germany)
A = Escort
B = 3 door
P = 1993
M = March
Position 1-3: World Manufacturer Identifier
Position 4+10: Body Type
Position 5-6: XX
Position 7: Line
Position 8: Assembly Plant
Position 9: Model
Position 11: Year
Position 12: Month
Position 13-17: Production Sequence Number
