Carerra 12 56xxx Serial Number

I just purchased a Carerra 12 (serial number 56xxx) from a reputable dealer and the serial number is between the lugs (at 6 o'clock). But the case number 2447 is not printed at 12 o'clock (as I've seen from images). is this o'kay?

Also what is the approximate production date with a 56xxx serial number? The dial is a second execution dial but I assumed that the serial number would be higher for this variant of the Carerra.

Thanks
Fred
