WAN compression usually compresses the data payload. The HDLC sequence numbers are not in data packets; they are in keepalive packets. They are in the control plane, not the user plane.
I can't say for sure, but my guess is that they are not compressed. If they were, the interfaces wouldn't have a way to monitor the status of the link. What does Cisco documentation say? Sorry I'm in a rush and can't look it up. Good question! Thanks for returning the forum to something meaningfull.
