TR4/4A Vintage Triumph Register Build Codes

I have a build sheet from the Vintage Triumph Register that I got many years ago for my TR4. It has a bunch of codes on it under "Data" which I don't know what they mean. Does anyone have a legend for them, or know what they mean? I asked the current VTR and they didn't know. See attached.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

What get out of this is the Destination was USA .
HTR means it had a heater installed.
590 white wall tires were installed.

Thanks Charley, that is helpful. I wondered about the whitewall tires.
This car was dealer prepped with all of the racing options at that time, and came with a trailer. It has been raced since 1963. I suppose that engine is long gone. I know I've put several in myself over the last 4 decades.

Does "WW" indicate Windshield Washer?

I was so sure that "04057 CT" would be the ZIP code for the selling dealer in Connecticut; alas, 04057 is in Maine. Never mind that ZIP codes were first implemented a year after this car was built.

WW for windshield washer sounds right.
Also tonneau would indicate that a tonneau cover was included.

Jim and Others,

Here's my take on the codes: LMX means left hand drive, imperial calibrated instruments, export build spec (USA), SR/BK LEA is Signal Red body/Black leather interior, WT/ST/WT don't know, TC is tonneau cover, HTR heater, WW windshield washer, 590 bias ply tires, white walls, 4057CT is body number, 3582E is engine number.
