940084 is a lawnmower part (Briggs & Stratton) but reckon that may be red herring. :D
However the 'LH' in the suffix may indicate left-hand so could well be a sticker from a replaced panel. It isn't VW anyway.

Do you mean behing the end of the bumper? I found one too - you can just see it in this photo but obviously it's been sprayed over. It was yellow if I remember correctly...................

Why is there a spanner on the bumper bolt? One good fart and the entire bumper would fall off anyway!

It's the build sticker so they know what bits to fit on the track. You should recognise part of the top number.
