PS3 Backwards compatible PS3 datecodes research

On psdevwiki.com the date codes for the various backwards compatible playstation 3 consoles are documented. Now I recently found out that they are not quite correct, at least for the CECHC consoles. I recently purchased a CECHC04 with datecode 8B, until I modified it on psdevwiki it was not known that they existed.

That sparked my interest to explore datecodes a little more. Would there be any users here who would like to help and post their Backwards Compatible PS3 model number and date code? I wonder when Sony really stopped making the backwards compatible models.

Let me start with my own BC consoles:
CECHC04 - Date code: 7A
CECHC04 - Date code: 8A
CECHC04 - Date code: 8B

Thanks in advance if you want to help!
 
Hi I stumbled on this old thread and wanted to contribute.
My BC PS3 CECHC04 has the Datecode 8C. After further investigation I also found out that my console was refurbished with the 40nm RSX by Sony.
I was not able to find a BC console on the internet with a more recent Datecode than this.
 
Hi,
I also have an CECHC04 with date code 8A (90nm RSX).
My serial number start with 08-….
I also seem to have a newer BD-unit installed, cos when it drags the disc in, the disc turn a little. So maybe it is a BD-410 (KES-410) with dual laser?
