Is that the casting date on the main case

or the stamped date of assembly on the left side, ie "W02227-_"?

Mike, it's off a Chevrolet work order dealing

with preparation of another car - the reference on the work order is typed stating that the production 4 speeds will be shipped on April 29, 1957 - the 29 is lined through and a pen/ink number "15" is inserted.
