Toyota Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), where find it... JDM / non-JDM difference Options

[malpaso]

I belive every car must have VIN... VIN should looks like this:





or link http://www.toyotacelicaonline.com/VIN.htm

so... because Celica is Japan car, VIN should start with letter "J"... and because it's Toyota, second one should be "T"...

now... what I'm looking for is SS-III VIN (for Toyota dealer and order some parts) and it looks like it's not possible find that VIN on SS-III Celica...

there is frame code:
E-ST202-BLMZF (manual tranny)
E-ST202-BLPZF (automatic tranny)

there is some other identification code like:
ST202-1234567



...but where shoud be that damned VIN? Any ideas, pictures, etc?

p.s.: ...or is possible that Japan imported cars just don't have common VIN?
