Yep, the Nova tag is disappointingly bare when it comes to codes. Trim, Color, Date are really about it. 1972 is the first year you can get engine info out of the VIN

Nobody knows it all. Colvin's book also shows the 375 -396 68 nova with a turbo as MR code which is not right

Different engine codes for the same engine / different car line were due to engine component differences resulting in a different engine assembly.
The L48 in a big car had center dump exhaust, in a Camaro they were log style. Hence different assemblies and different codes.
Nova and Camaro were the same platform and shared most if not all engine and axle codes.

Be curious what the Tonawanda records say for the L89 totals.
