IMO, those maybe date codes, but they are maybe intentionally cryptic, and as mentioned, before they were required to be in a simpler DOT format, week and year.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I assume that the original standardization was later updated, because if what we are seeing is the 1971 requirement(?), it was still a bit nebulous to anyone outside the tire industry, including me, I suspect.
