Verne can correct me but all 509 engines up to 1965 were a Q coded block. Frome the looks of the pad stamps it appears the scenario you speak of may have been true for those engines. After application was known the final letter was inserted...

Bob....you must've both punched and stroked your 9'er to get it up to the 509??? . I know 409's are a Q suffix....are you saying they waited 'til the application was known to stamp the second suffix digit on these too? . I have a 348/409 under the back bench in the shop w/ XX suffix. . I haven't laid eyes on it in years but never found the XX on any listings and suspect this was a replacement unit like a CE....anyone know this one? ~ Pete
