Id Engine boss pad... help wanted

[C500]

Folks,

I have E440 for a 69 440 block
11 for the start of the casting sequence
HP for high performance, 2 for the second shift

Does anyone know what the '6' is, or the upside down 'A'?

 E series =1969
 440       = 440 cuin
 11 6     =  6th November  68 engine assembly date
 HP        = high performance
  2         = 2nd shift
  A         =   over size cylinder bore  ,  think it  means +20 over  ,  not 100% sure on this  , although A is Deffo over size bore    , I await to be corrected  


whats the casting date on the side of the block ?


*** EDIT ***   forgot 2     the 2 second shift

Yes upside down A is 20 over.  Oddly remember reading that in a Mopar magazine years ago.

Guys,

My id pad pic is posted above, and with the upside down 'A' should be 20 over. I have had the bores measured, and is not 20 over, is 4.32". Does the 'A' on my pad look like a factory stamping. Were they usually stamped upside down? I looks like is has been struck twice/has bounced when punched.
