Date code is my understanding as I remember my 63 having date codes that 
seemed correct.  I think the codes stopped at some point though as I 
haven't seen them on all pre-1970 Type 3 bumpers.  Not that i have 
looked for it that often though...

I can't explain it not having the early bumper brackets though.
