January 1964.
3 (J)? 24 .... 1963 .. No J in 1963 date codes .. 24th
3L14 .... 1963 .. October .. 14th
4A17 ... 1964 .. January .. 4th
4A15 (6) ... 1964 .. January 15th, Don't know where the six came from, might just have seemed a long month. :D
Engine Number confirms January 1964 towards the end of the month.
