My understanding currently is that the top number identifies the type and in turn the application(s)

Lower number code is the date code plus an additional code.

Do have at least one example with only three numbers at the bottom but it appears it is not from the 65 period - the focus of your question.

So far I've not see any with 5 or 6 digit lower lines which would eliminate the possibility of it being a month - year  - day of month pattern  like (for example 126531 for Dec 64 31st

Right now with only four digits being the max even month - year  - and machine/worker ID doesn't work

We need allot more clues/examples of originals  to figure out the code IMHO

That's quite an artifact you have there.

just wanted to add that I have the exact same assemblyline 65 oil filter as per pictures but my 4 digit code on the bottom is  4650.

Is it just co-incidence that the one in the original post is 4649???
