I read different descriptions - and have no access to the standard papers ANSI-Z26.1 for AS (American Standard) codes.
My current knowledge level:

AS1: windshields, at least 70% light transmission, laminated glass
AS2: side windows for visibility to the exterior mirrors or rear windows, at least 70% light transmission
AS3: other glasses in the vehicle, can have less than 70% light transmission

Only the renewed clear glass windshield is AS1 at mine. My bay window with M-568 green tinted thermal insulation glass around with AS2 - others with clear glas also with AS2 side windows - some sources wrote AS2 is only for tinted glass, thats wrong.

Your glass manufacturer SIGLA (Sicherheitsglas GmbH = safety glass, founded 1938, Germany) registered also as DOT25 is today Flachglas Wernberg and for some years part of the British Pilkington Group.
Found also old SIGMA glass for Mercedes and other VW in the local classifieds...

The wavy line with "D-"code was for the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA).

The M90 is unknown... but not a VW M-Code!
Also unknown the E under the SIGMA logo.
