There has been some skepticism, but what I have found was the first two digits like this example indicate (79) indicate a build date of July of 1969. There have been some anomalies, but feel comfortable that it is a date. This is based on original cars I've owned or certified that have build date which correlates to the shifters date coding. I know on the CRG site there is a listing of car build date and corresponding shifter date code which I've added to and confirms this.
