Came across a refin 1980 fretless L-1000. Neck, bridge, and pots all date it at Dec 1980, but the refin has made it impossible to see a date stamp on the neck pocket of the body. There is, however, what looks to be a 7 digit number written in the neck pocket, in pencil. What is the meaning of this number?

I'll have to take the neck off again, and take a picture of the pocket.
This is the info I have so far:
Neck pocket 2439430
Volume R1378029
Treble R1378043
Bass R8044
Neck date Dec 22 1980

The number in the neck pocket is likely the G&L dealer order number.
