Marlin date code help

From my pals at MarlinOwners:

According to Remington, the barrel code gives the date of manufacture. I have a 1895 that has a 2 letter code AJ on the left side of the barrel. The A is for March and the J is 2015. A friend has one that was bought the same time and only has one letter code R on the left side which is Nov but what year? Unless it has 2 letters, you can't tell the year made. Here are the Remington barrel codes. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
The month letter,

B = Jan
L = Feb
A = Mar
C = Apr
K = May
P = Jun
O = Jul
W = Aug
D = Sep
E = Oct
R = Nov
X = Dec

The year letter,

E = 2010, F = 2011, G = 2012, H = 2013, I = 2014, J = 2015, K = 2016
