B110

JDM Catalog 11/1971 -- this may be the serial numbers where 3N71B automatic was first introduced. Translation is unclear.

* Sedan: From B110-226985
* Coupe: From B110-877228

USA Catalog
* U = United States models
* N = Canada models. Also some U models were sold in Canada.
* A = Automatic transmission-equipped models

Reference: Datsun 1200 USA & Canada Parts Catalog Model B110 Series (C-0030U), 4th Overall Revision, December 1973

[I'm guessing the "Z" means the Zama plant, and "F" means the Fuji Heavy Industries plant. This fits because only some Coupe models were marked F, while all sedans were built at the Zama plant.]
