It appears that that the current Germain date code has been deciphered. According to this YouTube chap, London Calling with Simon, he spoke with Robert Germain who told him that the letter is the year, with A=2016, B=2017, C=2018, D=2019, E=2020, etc., and the two numbers after the letter, the month. In Simon's example, 703B104 is October 2017. Presumably, Germain's started using this code in 2016 and the code doesn't work for previous years.
Query though what I'm supposed to make of this recently acquired King Charles: 1112EC033? Might I hope it's from 2018? ? How do I get in touch with Robert G? ?
