I think maybe I wasn't clear. On my microfilm there are no engine prefix 
numbers shown before MY66. From what others have said, I gather that's the 
way VW did it.

It sounds like they stamped some letters next to the engine #s in some 
earlier years, just for their own info. My guess now is that at some point they 
realized that this was a useful thing and that they might as well make it 
"official." Thus the birth of the well documented letter prefixes with the 66 
models.
