Look at the Date Code in the Trans Serial Number, immediately following the
Letter Code:

The first two digits indicate the Calendar Date
The second two digits indicate the Calendar Month
ie: 01 = January, etc.
The third SINGLE digit indicates the year
ie: 0 = 80 or 90, 1 = 81 or 91 5 = 85, etc.
Note: 0's or 1's depend on the Letter code to detrmine 80 or 90 series.

The serial number follows after this.
