Just aquired a TD20. I know they were made 46-49. ser number 69508 but I have been unable to pin down a specific year. Does anyone know how or if I can narrow it down?

There is something wrong with your serial number. That number was made in 1928.

1948 was 614515-698874
1949 was 698875-787023

I'm going to guess it is a 1948, and the guy at the factory left a digit off. Perhaps somebody can tell by the decal graphics.
