Need help w/VIN decoding and year

[irontoys]

Hello,
I need help w/my four new M35 purchases...yes I got too lucky at a GL auction. I really only want one. I have (2) M35A2 units w/winch that have the following...
NK0158-72-0539-15583
and the other one
04G-71171053911691
I have a M35A2C with a registration number 0325/12428, but no ID number. It does have a rebuild tag from 1985, so it must be older than that.
Finally a M35A1 with nothing other than a stock number and the GL DTID W26V5283025701A and NSN numbers.

All units have the DTID from the GL sticker that gives the original purchase price, but that DTID number doesnt show up on the truck that I can tell...maybe it is a federal inventory number??

I understand there is an article on how to decipher, but I can't find it. I only find people talking about it...

Can someone help me decipher the year and what numbers to use for titling so I can submit the SF97's and get the paperwork rolling? To my surprise all units were in running condition (with a jump). Thanks in advance.

I'm going to say the first one is a '72
The second one is a '71.
The M35A2C is going to be sometime in the late '60s.
