The letters align and they are deeper at the top edge. Both S have a thicker top stroke. I think both AUSN and SLN must have been set together in a tool and stamped. The numbers however have clearly been individually stamped.
The backwards N may have come from a set used to raise letters from the back (such as the N of No.)
Regarding the need for SN at all, are the springs stiffer for the saloon? If the majority of cars were originally tourers, you'd only need to know when a saloon chassis was being built up.
All surmised. No facts in fact!
