I suggest it was built on Thursday the 24th. Vin listed with the date is what I take to be the starting VIN for the day. Your Vin is less than the one listed for Friday so I think that your car was built the 24th.
I base the Vin next to the date as being the starting VIN for the day by going back to the beginning of the chart.

Another thing you can do to find out the build date is just go to your dealer and ask them to run the VIN in their system - it will tell you that plus any warranty work done, options that came on the car, etc.
