No, using 22809, it would be the 22nd week of the year ending in ***8, qnd the 09 would be the 9th unit made that week.

Just dont forget that it is most likely from a batch older than the harness.

But I have noted older rings installed on newer rigs from various manufacturers over the years. So that theory sometimes goes out the window.
