Yes, the engine # is a very good match to the VIN. The transmission # is missing a digit (should be 7), and I think would be 7000421. I do not have much data linking VIN's to transmission #'s and the 4 speed (type 911/00 serial 7000001 to 7000691) data is almost non-existent, however, the serial is not inconsistent with the VIN.
BTW, if the Redbook says that a Karmann chassis can only have a 911/08 engine, then the book is less than useless. They only made 227 911/08 engines and there were 4116 Karmann 911T.
