Don,
Post a photo of your dash plates. The one you describe sounds like a simple unit property plate whuch were locally assigned to some vehicles. The delivery date I can cionfirm when I see your whole serial data plate. Try posting a photo of the patent plate on the front end of the right rear wheel house behind the pass seat.
