the 10 might mean the 10th day of the month, OR it could just mean the 23rd day of the month if you follow the logic of the lettering

Re: Flo Lite glass date decoding
They could have even used the by then standardized VIN coding system for model year, H=1987, J=1988, K=1989 and so on. But noooo They could not make it something simple.
