Breaking Down the Information Contained within the H&N Lot Label

Can you help me?

Does anyone out there understand exactly what information is being given on the newer H&N Lot Number Labels? I can see similarities between the numbers from different Lots and think I have figured out some of it, but just can't get a handle on the rest. And, as you know, when it comes time to reorder we all want pellets as similar as possible to those that have been working for us, so need to understand as much as possible of what we've been using before trying to replace them.

What I am looking for in particular are the Machine and Die numbers. For instance: with one of the Lots I am currently working up the Number is: 130919.90300.13 (currently still available). I am assuming that the first set of six numbers may indicate the date of manufacture as being Sept. 19, 2013, which could indeed be part of the overall Lot Number, but as I said, this is only an assumption. But, if in deed that were the case, then I would assume the next set of five digits, 90300, are the actual Lot from that date, and then the final two, 13, may be either the machine or die number? The only flaw to this assumption is, with an earlier Lot I had used it had the same 90300 numbering so I would think that kind of throws out the theory of that being the Lot number, other than if combined with the date. But, that's too much of a coincidence.

So, can you please help me?
