As an experimental aircraft builder you can use any number for your aircraft as you please. There are absolute no requirements as far as the FAA is concerned.

Hi Norbert

Interesting. The owner told me he presented the German DP to the FAA in order that he could use that ID, rather than the Flug Werk serial number. This was around 5 years ago though.
No wonder there is so much confusion about this sort of thing
