Default Rear End Code Information

Need a little help. The posi rear end in my 62 has the correct casting part number "P" and birth date for the car. On the opposite side of the case is stamped in CE 6 I 5. The "I" has a foot on the bottom like some capital "I"'s, but the top of this letter didn't stamp in very well, so I have a half "I". Can anyone tell me what these last 3 stamped in letters mean?

Thanks

Butch

Tom P responded and told me this is the assembly date of the 3rd member and equates to June 15 of 1962, which works out correctly for a July assembled car.

Thanks Tom!

A 62 rear differential marked CE 6 I 5 is a rear end assembled Jun 15th, and CE indicated a 4.11 Posi.
