To my knowledge nobody has found or shared an equivalent decoding system for period Firestone or Uniroyal. I looked pretty hard a few months ago.

Correct. When DOT implemented digit formats they changed over the years, this may help identify approximate time period of other manufacturers. I have information somewhere and will provide sometime after MCACN.
