Ok what's actually the date code on this glass?

[HardcoreZ28]

Hey guys I need to order up some new rear quarters for a 68 Camaro I'm working on and the customer wants the glass date coded. I'm not sure what on the etching is actually the date code though. Below are some pics of the original....anyone know what is the date code portion of it? I'm guessing it's the M52 at the bottom??

see if this helps.

My guess would be wrong.

Huh no mention of actual date codes in that post Scott. I thought there was actually a stamping for the date it was manufactured. It does list a model code though which I didn't know about.

Am I reading this wrong?

Marks from 1966 through December 1968
Transcriptions of three different examples of the variations of LOF OEM glass markings are seen below in their pre-1969 version (e.g., without the DOT mark). Note that "date/plant" is not literal but indicates the location of the Date and Glass Plant code discussed later. See also the later discussion of marking details, such as hyphen use.

LOF Date/Plant Code
The LOF date code is rather-well known in Camaro literature, but is included here for completeness. It is a two-letter code, a one-letter month code followed by a one-letter year code, as shown below. For example, a code of NX is interpreted as January 1968.
