Yes, that sounds right.

I have Mellow Yellow's evil twin in my driveway.
Yellow 1984 Westy

Camper tag says  P27 E 01021

Looking at the driver's door pillar sticker, when was yours built and
what are the last 6 digits of your vin# ??

Mine says Made 9/83 but has vin 022,xxx. They must have really been
cranking out T3 models to get that high so early in the model year.
