But the date code format I believe was different in different years. There may be some more stampings under the rubbger floor boot as what I found is close to that. I don't remember the sticker on mine when I restored it. But it may have been on there. I did mine before didgital pics so probably don't have any pic os it.

The broadcast code (like the "KB" on the part number sticker on the column) and the ECL code on the window sticker are two different animals, assigned by separate groups for different reasons; if they're the same, it's strictly coincidental.
