It can't be L32, M41. As the VIN tag has a T in it it must be L31. See if you can get the GVW off it, and the seating capacity. Also see if it has door switches for the interior light.

My HX Monaro is a factory fitted 308 with M21. The Vin has the T for 308 but the body tag is stamped ENG. L32 TRANS. M21

Incorrect stampings on the body plate is quite common, particularly engine ID.

Either you have read it wrong or its mis-printed. Can only be L20, L23, L32, L33 or L31. Most likely L32.
