Prefix AEU looks to be from November 1984 (the Jovino guns were sold in 1985, I think) and AyYN looks to be from early 1988, possibly February. If you have the boxes that makes dating them easy. We need photos too .

Thanks, I have the 2” box but the 3” went the way of the Do-Do bird. I have never mastered posting photos, both are standard pistols. I thought it had to be in the Eighties as I retired in early Nineties. My first duty weapon (1963) was a Model 19 4” that cost $82.57, I saw a nice one at a gun show the other day priced at $1100.
