Park map printing run ID #?

[joshwill]

ok, heres what im asking. i was going thru a box of old maps from past trips over the years to wdw. im trying to discard the duplicates that i have.

i noticed a number on the maps. on the MK map im looking at right now, in the lower right hand corner there is a number: 4050082AMA0103 0905.

while im somehwat sure that the 0905 represents the month and year of the printing, i was wondering if anyone knows how to decode the rest of the number?

Possibly:

• Artist
• type setter
• printer
• ink lot
• printer operator
• shift

My guess is the first bit is some sort of ID as to where it came from because different printings and years have totally different IDs. the 0905 is the month and year it was printed (usually). I have a bunch of mine i scanned up at http://guides.wdwhistory.com/ along with the IDs and sorts. You can see like for a few years the maps have long IDs and then totally different ones for a few other years.
