I think I'm correct in saying the first two numbers is the year and second two numbers is month.
Not sure what 12 is?  :-\   09 would be September.
Some 1980 cables were stamped with just the month then year.

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to shed anymore light on this topic?

Seems to be about 4-5 styles for the low 80's ( 3 styles attached )

Trying to find some concrete answers without much luck :(

cheers all
