Transmission & Trim codes not matching up?? Help pls...

I am just about to go and look at a private sale for a 120 Series VX. It has a build date of Nov 2004 and the seller is listing it as a 4sp Auto - however the Transmission Code on the compliance plate is A750F, which seems to be for a 5sp Auto? Any ideas? Wiki says that the 5sp didn't come out into Asu until late 2005...

Also is there a way checking a trim code? It is FG10. Photo of compliance plate attached (REMOVED)

I drove this Prado this morning. Very nice and yes it was a 5sp auto so the plate was correct and the advert was wrong. I also had a look at a GXL at Brian Byrt ford but preferred the VX. Put an offer in - now it's just a matter of waiting for an answer I guess. Hope Im in a Prado before Christmas!
