Since the last post I have been scanning the net and have found several examples of 8 3/4, 489, housings with 3 digit date codes, the last digit of which would not be a year since 489s were only produced '69 through '74 IIR.
So, could it be that some cases were stamped with day of year only and the year was assumed?

64 would be March 5 (in a non-leap year), which would be about right for an AAR.
