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.


Code:
       SAFETY  L    PLATE
          AS2   O   date/plant
                 F
          SOLID TEMPERED
               M51

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.


Code:
1966-1970 LOF Glass Dating System 
                 LOF Month Code - First Character
