ok as I'm looking at the M-code - mine says
07 06 0 <------> according to the Identification Forum shouldn't this only have 4 numbers? Day / Month/ Year? 7 June 60?
{XX X X Date of manufacture in day/month/year format - year was removed in 1963 and placed as the first digit of the VIN #.
Month is 1-9 for Jan. - Sept., then O, N, D for Oct, Nov., and Dec. respectively. }
