How hard do you have to look to see the stamped number on the plates? I

so I looked but I do not see any printing on either side of either reed
plate.

BTW I LOVE my Special 20s.

I'm talking about clearly legible numbers stamped into the brass of  
the reed plate, you can't miss them. The MS reed plates were printed  
(with the calendar week and year instead of month & year, e.g. 32/01)  
for a while but this practice appears to have been discontinued.  
Older classic reed plates have no date stamp, which means that yours  
are presumably are fitted with the stiffer reeds beloved of some in  
this list. Maybe someone will make you an offer ....
