Pictures can't be posted yet according to the forum rules. Only after the 10th post.
But one more question about the letter V as a year code.
The letter V is the 22nd letter in the alphabet.

Actually, you can post photographs. They will upload to a gallery album under your user name, where other members can view them.
Regarding the date code sequence, it starts at 1942 but does not use I, O, Q, W or Y, though Q was included in the first cycle (i.e. 1956). It was a government regulation, probably instituted to discourage bicycle theft, as bicycles would have been a lucrative black market item during the war.
