Couesnon markings and other identifyers

Hi all,

I've seen a couple of posts here regarding the Couesnon clarinets and I have not given it alot of thought as to when they where produced, since now that is.

I've done the usual searches and have not come up with anything specific.
There has been some progress in regards to the Conservatorie model (real Sherlock Holmes of you guys btw) in this forum.
The thing is ... that model is not mentioned in Langwill.

This is what I got :

SO: study models.
CGO: top models.
BO: first choice.
GMN: Change the tone by sliding; C / Bb. or F / Eb.
BN: Professional
HN: high-end professional.
Monopoly: "Hors Classe" (loosely traslated - A class of its own)

My Couesnon Monopol got that pinky roller and extra key on upper joint.
Serial 46xx
I'm going to strip her down pretty soon, hopefully there will be a 2 digit number hidden under the keys indicating production year.
Can anyone confirm this?

Best regards,
/J
