Topic: Short power steering hose date codes

[app01]

May 70 Dearborn, B2.

I have checked the archives as well as other sites on date coding and can't answer this.

These are the 2 short power steering hoses between the control valve and ram
My original hoses are stamped:
CYL C60A 3A714 A       1110
and
CYL C60A 3A717 A     1200

Are the markings 1110 and 1200,  dates codes and if so how do they decode? They do not look like a month and year as on other hose types.

Also in the  Osborn Chassis Assembly manual page 83, it indicates that the end of each hose has a blue daub. I see absolutely no sign of blue paint, which does not surprise me given the age and location. Was there really paint there?  And if so any pictures?

Thanks
