R59 date coded battery

[jack]

Hi

I ordered a R59 battery and asked that  8LT  be put on the left side and  25  on the right side of the battery.  To have a battery dated November 25 1968. My car was built 12D. I have a 1969 Camaro SS.

The shop sent me the dates reversed  25 on the left and 8LT on the right. Told that was the proper way. This goes against what I read.

So where do the date code go?

Thanks
