Can't find year on 9.8hp Mercury

[BoxmanP51]

I just bought 9.8 HP Mercury that seems to be in great condition but I can't find the year or repair manual based on Serial # A143480. I have seen some Canadian models that begin with A but nothing in this number range. Any Ideas?

Thank you, Sir. I looked for hours! Why is this one different than most?
