Merckx serial number help!

Can someone help me interpret the serial number on this Merckx? If I understand it correctly it seems like an 85 Corsa Extra, (Z) but I can't find a match for the number. Does that seem right? 85 Corsa Extra? It is SLX tubing.
Thanks,
Brian

Sorry, can't enlarge what was sent to me. Looking at the image, on the left side of the bottom bracket there is a 8X and below that an A. Then on the right side it says Z and right below that 8266. Thanks for your help!

More likely than not an '85 Corsa Extra, 58cm.
