Old lock JUC serial number format

[baggingthebag]

I just bought a pre-owned JUC (regular size with diamond tips, old style lock) from a well reputed reseller website. However, upon receiving it, I noticed that the serial number format is not the same as all my other Cartier pieces (even old ones), which is usually 3 letters + 3 numbers. This bracelet has 2 letters, gap, 4 numbers. I checked with the reseller and they said they will send me the authenticity report and the serial number format is different as it is an older model.
To those with older JUCs with diamond tips, could you let me know if your bracelet serial number is in the regular 3 letters+ 3 numbers format or were there bracelets made with different serial number formats too? Here is a pic for reference - it has 2 letters, and 4 numbers after a gap.
I can still return it but wanted to check if this is indeed a format Cartier has used previously.
Any information on it will be appreciated!
Thanks!

I have definitely had pieces that were in this format, but I do not own a piece with the lock you're referring to.

Thanks for replying. I do trust the reseller and the bangle looks authentic. Once they share the authentication report with me, I will decide whether to keep it or return. It is perhaps a very old piece. Lately I have only seen 3+3 format...

I don’t know if this helps, because my JUC’s are not very old, but I checked my older Loves and they have the format two letters followed by four numbers. They don’t have a space, however.

I don't have an older JUC, but my Love bracelet (which is around 25/ 30 years old) has two letters a gap and then four numbers if that helps at all?

Thank you @nicole0612 and @Tonimichelle ! I ended up learning that it is indeed a format Cartier uses (even now). Coincidentally all my pieces have the 3+3 format, so I was doubtful. All good with the bracelet!
