Canon 20D serial Number

I have a 20D with the serial number rubbed off the s/n plate
underneath. This is a known problem & Canon state on their website
that it does not effect the warrantee as the s/n is embedded in the
camera...

However I wish to know the s/n myself. On the box that the 20D came in
there is a label with several numbers. Can anyone out there ID the
correct s/n?

a) 2 letters and 6 digits
or
b) 4 digits, a letter, 3 digits and 2 letters.

The serial number is encoded in image files. Open one with DPP, then
"File-Info..." will have it under "Camera Body No."

I guesst that's for the 20D only?
I tried it out with my Canon 350D, and it's blank.

Irfanview and PIE both show a S/N for my 350d / RebXT
