No need to search more. That's good info Frank as long as you feel it's original glass and not a replacement.... Thanks maybe others will chime in...

Are you looking for a specific year? No Morty. I was just wondering if there was a possibility that an Nos mirror I have had the glass replaced. It doesn't look like it but doesn't have the code... So I was thinking that sometimes they got skipped...

I can only speak to 70/71 model year E-body mirrors, but I assume others were the same.
Early in the 70 model year, both the driver and passenger mirrors had a date code. Then at some point in the Aug/Sept timeframe, the date was removed from the drivers mirror. The passenger mirrors still retained the date.
On original mirrors I've seen, most 70 mirrors have MONTH-DMI-YEAR format. In late 70 and throughout 71, the format changed to MONTH-JC-YEAR. Not sure what the DMI vs JC designated. Probably the manufacturer of the glass.
I have 2 sets of NOS 70 mirrors and they all follow the convention above. Rob Thanks! That is exactly the specific information I was looking for as these are Nos 1970 E-body mirrors still in the boxes. Drivers side is the one with-out date code and passenger side looks dated like all I ever seen. Thanks again.

I had an NOS set of chrome ‘70 E-body racing mirrors and the same deal was found. Passenger side was date coded 9 69 and no code on the driver’s side.
