I believe that they used only three numbers after the letter. When they made 1,000, they went from zero to 1 on the second number, and so on. the first number and letter designate year and model. the second, fourth, fifth and sixth designate the production number. For example, 32Y417 would be 1925 Prince production number 2417. Of course, I could be completely wrong about that!
