yep thats correct
the MKA number is a body assembly number by Martin and King it dont mean anything
The chassis number is the important one

cheers Dave .. I am not great on beetle colours.. but this looks to be coral red(give or take a few patch jobs), and that suits the year

It was built in Feb 56. The last chassis built in January was 1 089 519.
The MKA number is consistent with CKD cars assembled around that time.
