[C2] 1963 Borg Warner T10 Date Stamp Decoding

1963 Borg Warner T10 Date Stamp Decoding
WB1131 is?
W - Warner Gear
B - February
11 - Day of month
31 - wha...
It's a T10D-1
The cast date code looks like an "F" over stamping an "A" or other way around
"F(or A) 21 63" with a "B" above the 21
Given the B = Feb, must be an "A" but that's as far as I can get.
Can anyone decipher?
Thanks
Tom

WB113.1 ?
Not sure if from Corvette, the other number I'm guessing is from the VIN number? Or is it a serial number that would be stated on the build sheet?
It is a T10D-1
It does have the small main drive bearing and bell housing retainer hole.
Regarding the A or F: I have a pic where it looks like an F depending on how the light is shining on it.

If the trans was originally from a Corvette the partial VIN would be stamped on the same flat section as the date assembly. This partial VIN stamping on Corvettes started in the 62 model year.

Assuming it is a partial VIN, then that would make sense since the cast date code is a 1963.
Again, how do you decode WB1131? B=Feb, 11th day, 3=1963, and 1? Did they actually stamp the shift? The examples I've found online have only 3 digits after the Month letter.

My 62 has the original T-10 that was installed in St Louis. The date is stamped WA2623 which translates to Warner Gear Jan 26, 1962 3rd shift. My 62 has a DOB on Feb 7, 1962.The partial VIN is stamped 2106590.

With the WA2623 engine in a "3", did you mean "3rd shift?"
