Default Boxster for my wife

Spent the day looking at Boxsters, for my wife and I have what may be a silly question. Where is the VIN decal with build date located? Typically its (air cooled cars) located in the door jam, just under the striker latch.

I have decoded most of the options on one car I am interested in, but cant seem to find a few:
K46
X98
139
198
239
502
584
680

Any help would be appreciated

For 1997 it is on the driver's side door sill just below the striker latch. Then in 1998 it moved to the door. It is a black sticker with the VIN and month/date.

Thanks Paul. Now have decoded 30 of the 31 options with option 198 remaining. Thanks again!

Really looking forward to getting a Boxster for my wife (and me)
