Wrong data card information, Leather? MBTex?

[DRM]

Hello,

Just looking at the data card print out from the dealership and it says

" 108A LEATHER TWIN GREY "

Although my interior is definately MBTex.

If I put my Chassis number into the Mercedes-Benz Club of Russia's VIN decoder ( http://www.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng )it tells me that I have

" Interior MB-Tex Grey (108) "

Seems odd that MB say that I have Leather and the Russian thing says I have Mb tex right?

as far as I know the Russia coder has exact info.
A lot of people here has checked the car VIN and all is right.
But there has been few errors though.
It´s strange that MB dealer has different info.
That might be that in some countries has different meaning on the same number.

It appears that the decoder has been upgraded since these 09-16-2005 posts:

Their site news states:
"22.01.2006 — VIN decoder now supports American VINs

The new revision features support for VINs of cars produced specially for American market and recognizes vehicles from 1980 till late 2005.

Meanwhile, we continue to work on improving of the VIN decoder, and now have support for mobile devices in plans, either through WAP or special Java applet.

We also look forward to extend database of recognized option codes and improve quality of translation, so please don't hesitate to report any possible inaccuracies you may find in VIN decoder."
