‘54 Monterey Decoding help please

Hey all, new to the forum and hoping someone can help me with some deciding
I’ve done the typical searches and even found some help on this board, just not everything. So here’s my numbers:

54LA34805M

I believe this means

54 - 1954
LA - Lincoln, MI
34805 - Serial number
M - Mercury line

Here’s the body info. I’m sure this is interior trim, body color etc. but I cannot find an exact decode for these. Any help would be appreciated.

BR60B 36-475-2H-79

1954-mercury-monterey

I tried to post pics but either it didn’t work or it won’t show on my phone.
Or, there’s a strong possibility I just don’t know what I’m doing.

WOW!! Nice car. My uncle had a '54 back 60's. He would let me drive it sometimes and as a kid that was a real treat.

Here is a picture of a similar 1954 Mercury Monterey Hardtop mild custom that now resides in Australia.

Here you go: BR60B 36-475-2H-79

BR60B (60B)= Six Passenger Monterey Coupe
36 (body color code) = Upper - Bloomfield Green
Lower - Country Club Tan
475 (Trim code ) = Turquoise and Ivory Vinyl
2H (Month of year code) = August 2
79 = Rotation Number

54LA34805M = "LA" shows that it was built in the Los Angeles, CA assembly plant

@Merc Cruzer - You rock, thank you.

@Mercman from oz - That’s the stance I would put on this one if I was keeping it.
