Ok Guys...Any horn experts here?

I have a Sparton horn cover. It is #4 (Mid 1928 thru 1931) page 19-3 Revised 2016 in the Standards (no Ford Script).

It has a Patent Plate dated "61928" telling me it is a June 1928 cover and/or horn.

However the "graph" on page 19-2 tells me that this #4 cover started about September 1928 which would put it at "LATE" 1928, not "MID" 1928 as stated above.

If that is the case then, which I do not know, why then a Patent Plate with date "61928"? And yes, it is an "8" and not a "9"!

This is an original plate with original nickel plated split rivets.
