The alternator can be dated after the engine assembly date.

How strange. The NCRS pocket guide, page 123 says year first, then either a letter or digit for the month, then two digits for the day of the month. Here's a post from Joe Lucia from 2003

If the judging guide takes precedence, then the alternator in question would be September 11 1979. If that's the case, then this is a good fit for a car built in November 1979.

There again- what do I know, I have a head shaped like an alternator.

Thanks Mike, so the picture I posted with a 9119 date code would be September 11th 1979?

Yes, based on the Judging Guide, and as Mike posted, good for a November car.
