The 463 hp number has no regulatory basis as far as I know (you will not find it in any CoC as it does not follow any established standard).
I know Tesla previously filled in the continuous power 69kW for the P85 in the UK, but that doesn't mean that necessarily matches what is legally required (but does save people on insurance premiums). Although it could have to do with P85 only having the continuous number listed on the CoC (don't have link to copy, but there was a thread about this).

The UK requires Tesla to fill in "Max Net Power" according to the CoC.
Question 19:Max Net Power (kW)
When completed: Mandatory – if the information is available on the CoC it must always be completed. Minimum of 1, maximum of 3 numeric characters. No decimal places, round up or down to the nearest whole number.
Given the line only allows 3 numeric characters, it seems reasonable to add the two "maximum net power" numbers to get the max. As discussed elsewhere, there is nothing technically wrong with this approach if the gearing is the same (and the standard doesn't require a stock battery connected so battery limits don't have to be considered). With gearing accounted for, it might be slightly less than the direct sum, but not that big a gap.
Don't know if Norway has similar laws about where the power number should be sourced. There is probably a document that shows how the vehicle registration number should be filled in and that should note what is the proper number to use.
