Anyone else looking for information about their year or model can find the info quickly in the FAQ link on the left sidebar.

Your Stencil number should look like this:
5B1776

HIN numbers are 12 characters in length and yours should look something like this:
BWC?1717D787
or
the missing letter where the ? is could be after the 1717....
