The C at the start is a different in house series and should not have anything to do with the last letter of the imports.
The Cxxxxxx series coincidentally starts about early 1951 or may be very late 1950 but it definitely lasts until late 1953. So this clearly is not a year indicator but a consecutive prefix which started with B most likely in 1947.
My statement that it could be a year indicator purely relates to the last letter of the import cases.
