Craig,
The FBP on my 1962 Convert is "08A", not "09A". I guess it's not clear in the 
photo, but it is very distinct when I just looked at it. That transcribes to 
AUGUST, first week. That is perfectly in agreement with the sn being very near 
the reported end of '62 convert production (15908 out of a total of 16569) 
and the previously published fact that 1963 production began in Sept '63.

Regards,
