You gotta keep in mind that these workers were union hourly wage earners, and they could care less about why 50yrs later you were concerned about placement/positioning of date codes.

time period for each casting IDs
John & Tom - helpful es ever - thanks! Yes, I did guess in that direction.
One more question: I found an array in the NCRS judging manual, listing the T-10 casting IDs for 58-60. But they just refer roughly to 1958, 1959 or 1960.
No details telling in what time period a part with each particular casting code was produced and therefore what configurations are possible for a particular model year / VIN. Also, what is the approximately time window between manufacturing of the transmission parts and the VIN?
I just heard occasionally, that main case T10-1B would have been produced from Jun-59 to Jan-61. So how's about the others? What time window for the T10-1 main case code? What for the T10-7 / T10-7A / T10-7B tail housings?
Any publications about that? Would appreciate any information!
P.S. ....beeing from Germany, I had to google for 'Joe the Plumber'. Forgive me, if I'm not so familiar with your local party affairs and mind - we got 'Queen Angela'

Alan Colvin's "Corvette By The Numbers" book is probably the best reference for transmission details.
