Well, since no one else has come forward, and I just got my
family album working again (with a real 17" monitor!), I'll
give you what I think I know...

Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Nil.

The FA shows 035 905 207 for the urQ and early Coupe. The 200
series shows 034 905 207.  My part number search came up "part
number unknown".  But on my version, you can point to a specific
part in a diagram and get the same result.

My understanding is that the first 3 digits (throw away your
leading 0) represent the model, and the final 2 groups represent
grouping (e.g., electrical) and specific item (e.g., distributor
cap). A final letter indicates a revision ('A' being the first
change from the original spec.).

Maybe someone else can chime in with what model or series the
290 represents.
