Isn't "L" the 12th letter meaning it would have been cast in December?

From my notes: Beginning in August 1932, complete Model A service block engines were all fitted at the Rouge with Model B camshafts and push rods (tappets), according to the Engine Production Foreman's records. This feature carried forward into diamond block production.
