The codes are all laid out in the Major data on the main page.
The codes you quote are only the date of the casting you got them off not the date of the tractor. Each casting has its own code and to get an idea of the age you would need as many as possible.
To confirm the date, you need the engine/serial number from under No.1 injector or, on the early Majors, on the flange behind the starter.

The number is not under No.1 injector of a 1954 Major, its on the flange between the engine and the clutch so it may still be there or on the metal plate on the firewall.
