Yes, it has to be 47429....
Which also means it is/was a factory 4 with either 1.8 or 2.0 flat 4 - not 6. I just mention this due to your screen name & in case you're thinking that it was a factory 914-6. And as others have said above, the 29 is for the Karmann plant where the 914 4s were built/completed, but only the shells for the 914-6s were made there during 70-72 MYs, then bodies shipped to Stuttgart for Porsche to finish - ergo a different VIN.
