For a long time I didn't think any serial numbers between 000000 and 050000 existed and that's why they're not covered by the serial number decoder. A few has however popped up over the last year and they don't really fit in.
Here's the options we have:
The serial numbers rolled over from 0500 to 010000. In that case the earliest numbers are 5 months off and production started as early as June 77.
4 digit numbers and 6 digit numbers were used simultaneously during the transition period. This way 010000 was produced at the same time 0100 was made. This is how the serial number decoder works today.
Serial 014800
