lookign to date my savage 99e 308

[silverbak]

I have a "N" top left near barrel just before words "model 99e"----small letter "m" lever boss looks like there may have been an oval around it but only partial left-----
left side of receiver lower frame "P","N","8","E"
serial number 1017824

so is mine a 61 or 62?

Don't have my binder with me but I'd say 1960.

The "M" on the lever boss seems to date it as a 1961

I wander what the other letters mean?
