Chassis number Terrano 1 or 2

Hi all - again. I am a little confused, is there any way of breaking down the chassis number to the vehicle type and date of manufacture.
I know its an r20 but the DVLA and my insurance disagree over the model.
It's a mistral 2.7 TD but the DVLA insist it is a Nissan MPV, the insurance comes up with nissan terrano2/mistral 4x4 (if it is a T2 then the registration is incorrect as it is on an M)
the import document shows it as Y-r20 spec 07614
I know it is perhaps a small point, but the worry is that if I should have an accident I may be uninsured as the government vehicle database and the insurers databases show different information.
