August 1-7 is the first week of production for the MODEL year, not the calendar year. That's how gas tanks were dated.
And, they started over for the late 69 model year.
So, and 08A of 68 built car could have a 1 69 date code.
My 08A of 69 built car had a 1 70 code gas tank. The 1969 1/2 cars (I know, they were not designated such) had to meet 70 regulations; like the blue mylar vin sticker on the door, which started in August 1969.
Week 33 would be middle of March, 1969.
Week 33 was the 33rd week of production for model year 1969, which started first week of August.
