Well, TCF1564L was built right around that date, as I recall. (Confidential
to Brad K., who now owns this car: I will someday find that build record,
photocopy it and send it along!)
I believe that the "1963" dates shown above (as on the VTR web site) should
indeed read 1962. I've never read anything to indicate that the 3B was built
any later than 1962, although many were built late enough in the year (from
mid-summer on) to have been retitled and sold as 1963 models by the time they
arrived in the US.
We'll have to fix that page on the VTR site. ;-)
