The newer plier head came later :) Yours fits the bill of the datecode :tu: but a pic could help with your question a bit better :D

Well I was pleasantly surprised  :D  when this arrived the other day. The photo was alittle fuzzy and didnt show the etchlng on the knife blade. In fact I thought it was going to be a rivoted variation of the Pocket Survival Tool. But when I got it out of the sheath and saw knurled screws instead of rivots I opened the PST and there was no USA on the plier head I really was at a loss as to what I had. So opened the knife blade to see what was stamped on it an saw it was etched  :o. The only other etched knife blade I`ve seen was the picture of Smitty`s Cabelas PST. Then I started studying pictures in this thread and also noticed that Smittys Cabelas PST and Daves POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL do not have USA on the plier head either. So at this point I`ve assumed it`s an early version.
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

Another nice one David! :tu: By our reckoning, that is one of the earliest models made in Japan. (no lanyard attachment)

Congrats! :cheers:
