Dating CTS pots

On inspecting the pots  on my jazz bass I notice the pot code on all 3 is EP885. I believe this  identifies the pot as being manufactured by CTS. 

Is anyone out there able to confirm this ?   Would anyone also happen to know how I date these pots ? I'm assuming the last 4 digits on the pot denote the year and week of manufacture ? 

Any assistance would be much appreciated 

cheers

From my experience, if CTS, there should be another code starting 304- or 137- (depending on shaft type). After that comes 4 digits, of which the first two are the year and the next two are the week of the year. E.g. 137-6410 is the 10th week of 1964.
