What is this I.D. card near front grille?

Hi Charles, does you friend know how to decode lines 4 through 7? I see in this thread (and from what Jeep has provided me so far) what lines 1 through 3 are, but can't figure out 4 through 7.
Line 4 is the Car Line Shell (TJJ or TJU)
Line 5 is the Engine (P or S)
Line 6 Trim (Interior Trim Codes can be found online)
Line 7 is the VIN (VIN number decoding chart in Factory Service Manual Introduction pgs 1-3)

The Factory Service Manual for your year TJ can be downloaded.

Hi Charles, it looks like the lines are in reverse order, numbered from bottom to top, so lines 4 through 7 look like they would be the "top" 3 lines. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I used another plate I saw a picture of online as a template to try to recreate my own. I'm including a screenshot here of what I've figure out so far. What's not highlighted, I am sure of. What's highlighted in yellow I have no clue about. What's highlighted in green, I can find on the original sales codes provided by Jeep, but am not totally certain.

What puzzles me about the transmission code is that I see both DGA and DGG on my sales codes and I'm not sure why it lists both or which code would have been used on my body code plate.

Luckily, I had, before it was stolen, taken a picture of a portion of the door sticker so I knew what the paint code was. Looking at the picture now, I see that I caught the trim code too.

I have no idea whether I'll ever be able to find the vehicle order number, but I've asked Jeep in a follow-up question.

A couple minor stickers went unnoticed or weren't totally destroyed, but I'm not sure that any of the remaining numbers (PT. NO., SER. NO., and some faded number 0084925 on the top left) on them correspond to anything that would have been on the body code plate.

Any and all help welcome in figuring out the rest or where I might find it other places on the Jeep.

Here's what Jeep sent me:

The tag by the front bumper is the same as the tags on pillows, "do not remove under penalty of the law". Whatever you do don't mess with it, the tag police will track you down!!!!!
