underside/bottom center
My educated guess would be O.M. = onder midden, to indicate the location where the number D9150 (vehicle identification number or chassis number) has been stamped.

onder motor = under engine
is what I should expect o.m. mean to be.
De Nederlandse Taalunie heeft er in ieder geval geen moeite mee

klein kansje voor " onder motorkap".

ondermeer (among others/inter alia)
This abbreviation is not included in a fairly comprehensive list of abbreviations in Lexicon Scheepvaart & Transport [Van Kluiven/Weekblad Schuttevaer/Scheepvaart & Transport College Rotterdam]. It is not mentioned in Technisch Woordenboek Scheeps- Regel- Installatietechniek [Delévaque/SRT] either. I suspect it simply refers to 'ondermeer', a general expression in Dutch which means 'among others' and is often abbreviated as 'o.m.'. If this interpretation holds, you could also use the term 'inter alia'.

I think you're probably right, but there's a lot of confusion, if not lack of consensus, about "compounding" in Dutch. Even highly respected Dutch newspapers like NRC Handelsblad don't recognise the official "Taalunie" spelling of 2005 you refer to. Admittedly, googling on 'onder meer' results in significantly more hits than 'ondermeer', but still...
PS: How are you getting on with http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1529956 ;-)

@Jarry, re: "I noticed that the Dutch context was not of much help to you either"
1. You're assuming I'm wrong. A little premature perhaps, although in my peer response to Harry's suggestion, I conceded that I probably am.
2. At least this was a sincere attempt to help a colleague solve a fairly tough problem.
3. You seem to have lost interest in http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1529956 . Or are you conceding implicitly that you're wrong on that issue? ;-)

: ik denk dat er eerder "onder midden tegen schutbord" bedoeld wordt. Kijk maar eens op het kentekenbewijs van je eigen auto

Yes, this would be more likely in my opinion.

: Re (3.) of your last note. Wishful thinking Jack (see my note at http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1529956). I have very little time to re-visit the site unless I am prompted to (Am translating a book of some 60,000 words with a tough deadline to boot)

Please see my note above. PS: The context of the source term is obviously 100% Dutch ;-) // Please see my 2nd note to you above.
