I have ALWAYS seen that the first two digits in the dealer number is the DSO, that's why I thought it odd that the DSO on the door tags (actual and image) and the buck tag are 76 but the dealer number starts with 56. I thought that the dealer number would have started with 76 as well.
Dealer codes couldn't be the same as the DSO in many cases, because the DSO codes, like you mentioned above, are regional (districts).

From the DSO page here:
