Just to check if I have understood it right, panels, which have a VU number (are airbus manufactured parts and components/switches on the panel can be replaced individually). The Panels without VU numbers are non airbus manufactured parts, and the entire panels needs to be replaced.
That is correct. You will see a small panel number XXXVU in small blue lettering. If no VU number then the panel assy cannot be repaired and none of its components are replaceable, you are unlikley to find anything in the CMM for these items. Non VU identified panels are generally from the vendor.

Hope this helps
