Default Odd Date Stamp/ Yairi

Just traded my Cordoba 45 for a CY-116. Yairi classicals are no secret on this forum. What an incredible instrument. I could only imagine how the higher levels must sound. Anyways, the date stamp on the heel block doesn’t correspond to any of the date charts I have found for Yairi guitars. 0003074. Can anybody crack the code?

Edit: Alvarez responded to my email. It’s a 2000 model.

The older ones, like my 1986, have the date on the label. Rick
