I can clarify the four letter code a tad:

Example: WPMW

First Letter:
A/R = Monday
B/S = Tuesday
C/T = Wednesday
D/U = Thursday
E/V = Friday
F/W = Saturday
G/X = Sunday
So we can see that WPMW was made on a Saturday.

I can't remember what the second letter means, WPMW

The third letter is batch number, A=1, B=2, etc, M=mixed. WPMW = mixed batch.

The fourth letter as a W means that the chip came from Malaysia , if it's not present the chip came from Chine WPMW - EDIT: Regardless of where it came from, chips missing the W at the end don't clock worth a damn in general.

I might be a tad off, it's been a LONG time since I learnt these
