Default VIN code question

A little confused about VIN code. I have a 2013 fatbob with the 103 but when I look up the VIN code it shows it being the 883 Evolution XL
When i google the 883 volution xl I get all kinds of sportster info?
My VIN IS 1hd1gym18dc3314 (I left off the last few digits just for security’s sake)

Can someone splane this to me?

GYM is the model and engine codes. You have a FXDF with the 103 engine.

The same VIN decoder is used for both the 96" & 103" engines on Ronnie's site. Both engines are listed in Position #4. "4" = 96" TC & "M" = 103" TC.
