Difficult to make out in your picture. How would you describe the marker's mark on the back side of that latch?

yes it is the back side.  Hidden once installed most likely.  Probably why there are no reports of others finding the same.  Mine is still not reinstalled.

I recall seeing this mark on something else.  I need to search through pictures.

I found no date codes on the short 67 latch that I have. I will have to go back and look for the makers mark.

All of the latches on my shelf and on cars have the makers mark in the general /same area on the back of the latch. I was only looking for number and letters before.

So w've got two versions from that supplier

Altered the title of the thread and will leave it up rather than treating it as a temporary one since we've expanded it.
