According to IRIG Standard 200-04 "IRIG SERIAL TIME CODE FORMATS":
https://wsmrc2vger.wsmr.army.mil/rcc/manuals/200-04/TT-45.pdf
"IRIG Standard 200-98 was last updated in May 1998 and defined the
characteristics of the serial time codes A, B, D, E, G, and H This 2004 edition
of the Standard incorporates year information for codes A, B, E, and G. Codes D
and H remain unchanged."
So which IRIG time stamp are we talking about, and are we talking about the
1998 edition, in which there's apparently no year information, or the 2004
edition, in which there is year information?

So are we talking about a board such as
http://defense.ge-ip.com/products/cnic-a2pu4/p3437
for which that page says "An IRIG-B receiver/generator is included for
synchronization to external IRIG-B time sources and for synchronizing multiple
CNIC-A boards."
