Thankyou, H
Sorry, I don't think I can quote exact sources of this as it was from several years ago. I know the information came from a number of posts on this forum from 2010 to about 2013 when I was looking at these in some detail. The main supplier of what appeared to be good information at that time was a member called "gugnunc" (real name Philip Bowes) who had a thread titled something like "Explorer 5500 Facts and Myths" where he quoted those dates.

Your information is almost certainly better than the 2013 opinions and it might be helpful to other researchers if you could give some idea of approximate manufacturing dates to go along with the serial numbers you quoted above.

This area seems to be a minefield of misinformation, myths and legends so I decided to keep well away as there was little chance I could find an original 5500 Explorer with enough documentation to make me happy that it came from the factory that way.
