Identifying marzocchi forks..

Bought a Sherco that seems to be fitted with 40mm marzocchis but I'm not sure what the oil level should be. I did find a good reference site but I'm not sure what model of forks I have. The markings I see on the bottom of the fork legs are:

M = looks like marzocchi logo

05 (in a circle with 12 segments) = manufacture date?

MA130 = ?

1039 = 

---

Same M and 05 on the other leg but then

MA131 = ?

1040 = ?

 

Do these help identify the specific model of fork? There are loads of different model names listed for 2005 on http://marzocchiworkshop.blogspot.com/p/oil-quantitys-and-levels_858.html?m=1

The O5 in a circle sounds like a casting date.  Things like this would be cast in large lot sizes.  Then there is machining and painting plus transit times.  I have spent a little time looking at casting dates on Beta cylinders.  A cylinder with 05 casting date would likely be found on a 2006 or even a 2007.
