Wheel date code. Tell me if I am reading this correctly??

Wheel date code.
Had a little time this afternoon and was looking at the steel wheels that were on my 69 dart. Here is what I found on all 4 wheels: M with a 9 under it, to the right 6, then to the right of the valve stem a 3, then a 5.5. I think the date code is telling me they are 6/3/69 5.5 wide. Am I reading that right?

M6.....is Motor wheel plant #6,
9.......is for 1969

should be a number to the left of the valve stem (day of the month)
then the 3 is for 3rd month(March)
5.5" wide

These were made in March of '69

So am understanding this correct? M5 is the plant, the 9 under the M5 is the year of manufacture, what is the 6 to the left of the valve stem and the 3 to the right? The 5.5 is the wheel size. Is it 6/3/69? Or is it 3/6/69?

OK, so your saying in order left to right you read

I was trying to read the date code on the wheel of my 1967 GTS Dart. What I found was:
MI___1__(valve hole)__X__55
7
What does this mean?
