Very good question- I wouldn't lose much sleep over it till you can get back to the car and shoot some more pics of the A-pillar VIN tag, the chassis tag on the right side front fender just in front of the coolant reservoir, the VIN sticker that should be somewhere on the first couple of pages of the warranty book, etc.

Here's a pic of Richard's car in Germany, pretty convincing 92-93 Euro GTS, from the looks of it.

There is no A-pillar VIN tag on ROW, thats a US DOT thing (like the VIN sticker on the door jamb showing production year/month).

The one in the cutout of the front right wing (fender) at the side of the engine bay is there for all and is the one on the actual frame of the car, so is most reliable.

There is possibly also an aluminium tag riveted just near the bonnet (hood) latch for the German market (UK cars have - not sure on EU).

I think there should be A-pillar tag at least on all EU GTS if not all ROW GTS. I'm not sure when it was started but at least some early S4 don't have it so it was some time in between.

Its true that there is no door jamb sticker other than color code sticker in at least most ROW market cars. Definitelly not in EU cars.

There is possibly also an aluminium tag riveted just near the bonnet (hood) latch for the German market (UK cars have - not sure on EU).
It should be in EU cars. Its not in Japanise for example so its ROW market specific if it needs to be there or not. In Swiss cars its different specific to that market alone version what was possibly put in by local importer.

^^^
Here are all the VIN tags on my 95 GTS. One on the left (passenger side) A pillar, one on the right front wing (fender), and an Australian compliance plate near the hood latch, together with the build date tag. The only other info is on the right (drivers side) door jamb, which is a sticker with colour and interior codes. Edit: plus the sticker near the wheel well with VIN and option codes.

Cool build date tag, Dave! I thought that the metal VIN plate next to the hood latch was a pre-S4 thing, like this tag from the Holbert car:
