I just bought an E.T. cart that had the end label stamp "462 D".  I have heard that the digits are the week and year of production but what is the "D"?  I have a ton of "R" stamped end labels and some with no letters at all.  So my question is does anyone know what these letters mean?  I did a search of the forum but it didn't turn anything up so sorry if this is somewhere else.  If needed I can send a pic.

Thanks,
Jason

Maybe the letter indicates the manufacturing location, like the mint mark on a coin? I looked through some of my carts and found stamps followed by R and stamps followed by nothing. Didn't see any D's.

I see a few R's myself any idea what location R means?

I don't know for sure that the letter indicates location but it's been suggested before... Here's a similar thread from a few years ago:

And... I don't know where carts were made so it's hard to guess exactly what R and D might mean.
