Vin number location issue

[bufdaman]

Hi all I've been searching for a while to find a vin on an old bike I brought a while back, I've looked in the usual place but can only find something stamped that resembles "made in Japan k1 11" on the steering column, there are no other markings that I can see on either side. Need it to order the log book

should be on the left hand side when sitting on the bike on the steering column if not then its been ground off, sorry may be stolen years ago.
