How to identify year of 214 backhoe

[strawfly]

Hi all,
I have just replaced my 1974 Case 580B with a JCB 214 bought at auction. I am trying to identify year of manufacture but getting no luck. Have tried vin decoders but they sate incorrect vin. My S/N is SLP214TCTE0441465 As i understand from info so far the "E" in the vin denotes the year but I cannot find where JCB lists that info. Any help would be appreciated..

I’m not even close to the most experienced, but if I had to guess, I’d say an 04.  a picture of the plate or the back ho would help.
