My car and at least one more (I understand that much more) has a number on the door, on the inside .. In my case it is the number 44 written in red. Is there any idea what those numbers might be?

Are those the last two digits of the production # stamped into the lower dash frame behind the knee pad and below the radio opening?

The doors on my 70 are original. My passenger door has the number 33 written in black grease pencil. The number is unrelated to both my VIN and production number. My drivers door does not have a similar number marking.
Maybe a production line worker identifying number to know who was working on the car during a particular assembly sequence??

Interesting! I did not notice this when I had my '72T apart for paint, but my passenger door has '5' in red grease pencil on it. No number seen in the pictures of the driver's door.
In case it may be relevant, my '72 is early, built 8/71.

I do not know if they can be sequential or not although my thought leads me to believe that they are! The reason for the number ... I do not know but I have continued looking at other cars for a while to see if I find a relationship! The little I can contribute is an image of my car number in higher resolution! The detail of the color change from black to red is interesting! I have also found red numbers in a S / T Deposit! And I do not know if in some other objects. I understand, the pencil was black to mark things in the 70s and in the 72 it was red? Is there an original 1970 porsche ball with a red creyon?

Do we know if the doors were removed after paint to allow fo easier interior assembly? If so could it be possible the numbers represent something like the “workstation”, or place on the line, where a specific car was being assembled and would need to be reunited with the doors?
I think the doors were painted already bolted on.
So the number would come after the paint.
My passenger door has a black 6. Made 10/70.
