from my knwoledge, no. date codes should be two letters followed by four numbers. the letters represent the factory it was made in. the first and third letter represent the week of the year and the second and fourth represent the year.

I bought my OTG GM yesterday which stamped as made in Italy. It started as FP too. I called to Louis Vuitton they said they never post any serial code on their website so they couldn't explained how to figure out with serial code. But I bought it from Louis Vuitton boutigue in Australia. So i can say it is New code for OTG in Italy.
I just purchased a well loved mono Petit Noe with a date code of AR8902. I had hoped to bring some beauty back to this by having the vachetta redone but am worried that it is now a fake after reading conflicting articles on date codes. This is my first vintage purchase and I’m really hoping I didn’t make a big mistake. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi everyone, I recently received a Louis Vuitton Victorine Wallet with the date code YX108, I'm 100% this is fake but anyone want to give their insight?
Hi,
Mine is also RI and with red lettering as per enclosed.. It was also a preloved. Have you found out the authenticity? I'm wondering too..

Hello Ladies! I’m in this kind of situation right now. I bought a neverfull mm the other day which is made in France and the bag has a date code that starts with AR, while the pouch has a date code that reads MM0270. I have never heard or seen anything before with a date code that starts with MM. I am sure that it is authentic because I got it from the boutique. But I was just wondering if anyone else seen this date code before?
The code MM is from a new workshop in France. It's gonna be more common as time goes, but so far I've mostly heard of people having Neverfulls and Pochette Métis with the code.
I just received my online purchase of a Palm Springs mini made in France but with the code ML 2230 (meaning it was probably only made 2 weeks ago!). My research into the many sites with exhaustive lists of existing country codes do not list this code as a French workshop. It looks very authentic and my instincts are that it probably is a new workshop code but because it is an online purchase I am just afraid it might be a counterfeit return 
any ideas?

Thanks for this but what if the code is not on there?
I know it may the case that these are very new country codes from LV and aren't on these code checking website?
