      A 15-5 = January 15, 1965
      C 8-1 = March 8, could be 1961 or a replacement from 1971. Most likely a replacement.

          More likely from 71, oiler barrels hadn't been invented in 61.

              And the finnage was different from '61, right?

                  '63-'65 fins are a little thicker, the easy way to tell with the motor assembled is the Motor Casting Co. logo on cylinders.
