The first one was made after 1968, but before May, 1971.

The second one was made the 35th week of 1972 (or 82).

All tires made after 1968 had DOT coding, but there was no federally-mandated format for the coding until May, 1971; the second tire has the mandated standard DOT coding.

John:
Thanks for your help. Does the white tab mean anything? (127,018)

I don't think so - probably an internal tracking or inspection code; anything that relates directly to the tire is molded into the rubber.
