What year is this SJ?

This is the lid vent of my Gray UK edition SJ Premium.  According to the age guide AH is 2014 but the CU####### is 2015 but there are no 2 letter codes in 2015.  Could this be a 2015 but they were using the last of the 2014 AH stamped vents?

It could always be a 2015 bowl and lid with a 2014 vent, but I would think Weber would just recognize it as a 2014.  You are correct in you dating according to letters.  CU is a 2015 letter code

There is also a new word that is being used and is how the Red LE Kettles are coded.  I'm not sure what the word is for that.

It's BLACQSMIXH.
