Explanation of Karmann Ghia\'s VIN #

I always thought that the first 3 digits (141 or 142) referred to LHD or RHD then followed by the chassis number. Looking at the Samba http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/chassisdatingkg.php , the 141 or 142 does not seem to reflect LHD/RHD but it reflects the production year. Can someone confirm please? How would you tell if the car was original LHD or RHD then?
Thanks

With Type 3 Ghias the number represents the model style.
eg
341 = LHD hard top non sunroof
343 = LHD sunroof
344 = RHD hard top non sun roof
345 = RHD sunroof

I thought that was the case with T1s as well. Four different sets of digits represented LHD, RHD, hardtop or cabrio but I am confused now

Raf,
I got the Wolfsburg Birth certificate to confirm my rhd ghia.

For Ghias:

Model 141, Cabriolet, left hand drive
Model 142, Cabriolet, right hand drive
Model 143, Coupe', left hand drive
Model 144, Coupe', right hand drive
Model 343, Coupe', left hand drive
Model 344, Coupe', right hand drive
Model 345, Sunroof Coupe', left hand drive
Model 346, Sunroof Coupe', right hand drive
