Theres more.........I have just been chatting to a retired neighbour,
who use to work at VAUXHALLS, ( the General Motors subsiduary in nearby
LUTON town, who assemble OPEL cars and stick Vauxhall badges onto
them.....) He worked in the INSPECTIONS department. He says, in the days
when Vauxhall built their own engines, gearboxes, etc, as the engine
passed down the line, it would get various QUALITY CHECKS, and the
Inspector would stamp his number on the block if it passed muster.
Your 7,66,67 could well be just that, inspection quality assurance
stamps.
