Butm to give it a try - from the bottom to the top, , left to right :

>   0      2             H9R 551 5  Q

2 = Moulding : 0 : 540 - belt line
A = Axle : 2: 402 :: 2.94:1 with 8.75" axle
TRM = Interior Trim -
H - Grade : High
9 - Style / Upholstery : Bench, leather & vinyl
R - Colour : Red
PNT - Paint :
5 - Roof colour - Charcoal grey metallic
5 - Body colour - Charcoal grey metallic
1 - Paint style - monotone

UBS - Interior Piant / Exterior Stripes
5 -
Q -
Which letters do the "5' and "Q" appear under?  Have no "5" listed for
interior paint, if it is under the "U".   With red seats, it should be "R"
for red.   "S" is for pewter.   "5" is also for a silver vinyl roof.
If the "Q" is under the "U", that would be for a dark red interior paint.

> ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ
>    9   2889  7983   16
B = Accessories : 9 : 479 : Brakes - Front disc / rear drum
D = Brakes : 2 : 472 :

The numbers under the letters (A to Z) have shifted due to proportional
spacing (ie, the letter "i" uses less horixontal space than the letter "w",
for example).

Could you please restate the numbers with just the letters that are over
them?   I suspect the first "9" should be under the "D".
