Gerry,
C = Chassis only
You're probably right and it's not a thing I had considered as all importers into NZ had to by law include NZ content where-ever possible and as a result most sidecar bodies were made here in NZ especially after about 1928 when the deepression started to hit. The more NZ content your products had the better chance you had at securing more Import licence.
I suppose that it follows that if you ordered a sidecar chassis to replace a damaged one it would arrive with no numbers or letter code and be like crankcases and frames but if it left the factory attached to a bike as a chassis only it would be stamped 30MC****
