What we could not confirm
- Dunkirk is treated as sharing Utica's format because the source lists it in that family; the corporate relationship itself is an estimate.
- The 2003 to present format is documented but not decodable here: year position not parseable from prose: 'letters 1+3 combined: U_A=2003 U_B=2004 U_C=2005 U_D=2006 U_E=2007 U_F=2008 U_G='.
- Single 9-character style 160500150: week = digits 1-2, year = digits 3-4 (= Utica style 1).
