Date or lot number on a M69A

Hello,

I know the "53" on my Model 69A isn't a serial number, since they weren't required by the Fed in those years. I've heard that these were lot numbers, but I'm thinking they may be the year manufactured instead. My dad gave me the rifle in 1954, and it was brand new. A 53 would seem logical for the year, and I imagine Winchester would have produced more than that number of lots by '54. Does anyone know for sure? BTW, it's still a super accurate shooter.

Thank you.
