Okay, scrub all that. Month letter and single year digit must be an antique 'Murican methodology. Bothof my old batteries had the two-digit week number, and then the year as another two digits.
On the Varta battery for my Toyota, the code was stamped into the actual metal of the negative terminal (so it was clearly visible from the top after a quick wipe). And on the Banner battery (a VW OEM supplier), it was hot-stamped into the plastic battery casing just below the negative terminal. Both of these battery dates were a month or two before the two cars were first registered. Which is good to know.
