Was given this almost full tin of old Meteor powder, its FFFG...anyone have any idea when it was made, says made in Great Britain on the back of tin.

Here's some info I found on another site, where someone showed a can

73 = 1973
AP = Ardeer Plant ... which is in the town of Ardeer, Scotland
15 = Day Number
10 = Month Number
So, 1510 is October 15th
S - I don't know the meaning of 'S'
2 - This is usually the shift when it was packaged, ie 2nd Shift
 
Thanks after posting the question I found the same post, all my numbers are faded off side of the can...the can by itself is supposed to be pretty rare in the US..
