Fuel Filter

Changed the fuel filter on my 2001 F250 6.8 today and was wondering what this code mess that's stamped on it. What do you guys think?

Likely just manufacturer specific codes for internal use. Probably notes the date of manufacture, line #, etc.

That's what I was hoping to find out - date of manufacture. I thought maybe someone would know how to interpret that. It's a 2001 truck with less than 55K on it so I was thinking this might be the original filter.

That one has "Motorcraft" on the side, which is something I've never seen on a factory filter. I could be wrong of course, but I think it's been changed at least once based on that.
