Are you sure it's LB? I know Mitsu imports a lot of cars through Hueneme (that's where mine's coming in 
) and I couldn't find any details of an MMSA processing office at LB.
All of the VINs given so far do check out (ie they are valid Evo VINs, not made up ones). If they haven't been processed yet, they won't be in any systems, and who knows how often Carfax gets updates. They have no need to be bang up-to-date with brand new cars anyway, their market is used car buyers.
Anyway, for you detail freaks, a VIN deconstruction:
J - Country (of manufacture): Japan
A - Make: MMC or MMMA (as opposed to MMAL, the Australian Mitsu)
3 - Vehicle type: Passenger car (MMC, MMMA)
A - Other info: Driver & passenger airbags
H8 - Model: Lancer Evolution (yeah!)
6 - Type: 4dr sedan
F - Engine: 2.0L DOHC Turbo (4G63)
7 - Check digit (calculated from rest of VIN)
3 - Model year: 2003
U - Assembly plant: Mizushima (J = Nagoya)
042104 - Plant sequence number (Canadian vehicles begin with 6)
What I find odd is that of the three VINs posted so far, sequence numbers range from 042104 to 091874. So I guess there must be some other significance to the sequence numbers also (I doubt they've made 50,000 Evo VIIIs yet
