I'm not sure if that is a date code on the heater or not. There was a date sticker on the plastic tub of mine and I think on the underside of the lid and possibly the module so you could double check to see if there are any other date references that might match up.
As Mike says, I think the sleeves are welded to the tub. You could probably sand them with fine wet n dry paper to smooth them out. I'm guessing the machine has been running on one bearing looking at what was left of the front one and that is probably why the sleeve is quite rough. Did you have the spacer tube (photo 3 in reply#10) as I didn't see it in your pictures?
Hopefully you are nearly there for reassembly
