Dates on the blades of Victorinox Alox knives

I want to ask if anyone knows if the dates on these two alox knives (that i have) are the dates of manufacture, or Victorinox used spare blades of soldier's knives?

The first is a red alox Harvester with the key ring.






The second is a red alox First Mate without the key ring.





And to prevent you for asking, these knives are not for sale. :D

Spare/leftover Soldier blades, but this does not exclude the date of assembly for the SAKs to possibly match the year stamped on the blade.

I have myself such numbers appearing more of less randomly on several different older style red alox 93 mm models, including Pioneer, Rancher, Settler, Seaman, etc. Stamps of 98, 99, 00 and 01 seem to be more frequent and for a certain Seaman batch, 85.
