I honestly don't think so,and I can't figure out how to get a pic on here that isn't too big in size.

Ok,I zoomed WAY in and it is very possible the factory stamp wasn't punched hard enough to make a full 8 and possibly ran out of tag to finish a zero so it appeared as a c,I'm gunna go with it and I'm glad you brought up that link.next time I'm gunna see if I can find the plug on top to verify.what does etl and the c mean?

Not 100% sure but probably
E: electric start
T: tilt/trim
L: long shaft (20in +/-)

C: 3rd minor 'revision' or update to that model (a: 1st update, b: 2nd update, etc)
