I just went through this date code thing with my '65. My car's birthday is tomorrow, March 8. When I spoke with Pilkington, they stated typically 4 months prior to the assembly date. A check of my side glass (my windshield had been replaced with a non-dated glass), shows the driver's vent window is LOF, then Safety Plate, then ASZ on the left, then CG P on the right, followed by Safety Tempered. The CG is the LOF Date Code for:
C=November and G= 1964 & 1977
So, my March, 1965 assembled Corvette had original date coded glass 4 months prior to its assembly on the car.
When I order the glass from Pilkington, I requested a November, 1964 date of CG.
Hope this helps.

The Nov date won't be a problem, I would go with it. You have up to one year.
