Default Hidden 944 turbo numbers

So while in the middle of repairing the driver floor pan in my 87 turbo (driver side) I found this tag hidden under the rubberized coating from inside the car. I was wondering if anyone knows what these numbers mean? I see a "S/" which sparked my interest. I guess the "U8U8" is a paint code? Though if it is i think it's the same as LY7U

I suspect the 352 and 542 is Porsche's sub-model number for your car. Check the lower row against your VIN: the H or K may be the year, the other digits in the lower run from the tail of your VIN.

None of them match anything in my vin besides the "h" but that may just be coincidence.

Knowing Porsche that's probably just the part number for that tag

Agreed. The top part is Porsches internal number plus your paint code. Don't know the bottom
