I have read the archives regarding KO wheel date codes and there is some contradiction (letter = mold, shift, month) and non-conforming stamps out there to the stated "conventions". I would like to get some opinions on the following two stamps I am looking into. This is exactly as they appear with respect to spacing and sequence: First: "A_119_65" and second "B_111_265". Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Re: KH KO wheel de-code help needed
Are all the other castings correct ? This is one of an original set of five off '66 car # 13162 (99% probable). The others vary only in the 2nd digit being 3 or 4, leading me to believe they are dated Jan 3rd or 4th. Maybe B is shift, or casting line, or ?

All the other castings are correct. Nice pic of your wheel but I still need help understanding the two stampings which I have posted.
I am leaning toward these being early 65 when changed from ink stamp (64/65) to metal stamp (65/66). However, I would like some more experienced/expert input; especially if someone knows how to interpret these unconventional stampings.
