Could it be that the use of letters in a date code is nothing more than  
using letters to
express numbers as in the hexadecimal representation?  If so, then  A=10, 
B=11, C=12,
etc.     So 6A3  might be June 10, 1983
 
I used a similar system to update various programs I was developing to  
differentiate from
older versions.  I placed the date code using the 8/3 file name  extension.
FILER1.693     =    June 9, 1983
FILER2.BD4    =    November 13,  1984
FILER3.CV5    =    December 31, 1985
   as examples.
