I can't be much help other than to say that the Marti report is obviously wrong. The cars are serialized the day the VIN number is stamped on the chassis, and that takes place before they were painted at the Vignale factory in Turin, and that happened a month before the car was finished and left the factory in Modena.

Marti is probably misinterpreting the meaning of a date stamped on a factory document. Taking the date to indicate the date the car was assigned a VIN, when in reality it was simply the date Vicenzo finally got around to filing the paperwork.
