The body is thinner where the tipper pivot pin is fitted .
1.5mm on the new right model and 2mm on the left model.
Putting this model I would say before the code 1.

Nice one Jason, I'll check mine. It may be the photo but are the axle mounts the same size? and the ridge around the tipper flap looks thinner on the right hand model.

Interestingly, the red label variation has the thin tipper pivot supports, whilst the enigmatic black and white label version has the thick ones.
