I have heard this before, but I think it makes for a heck of a lot of warranty parts. I have not seen a crankarm with a marking later than "circle 4" and I believe all the arms from 1985 through the end were marked "rectangle 11." The newest hubs I have seen are also 84, and all the undated ones have the "11" marking. I think "11" is all post-'84 production, and despite what others have suggested, I believe SR production continued into 1987 (as is indicated on your timeline).

Things I've notice about very late SR production: C-record pedal spindles (diffrent markings) Victory (flat) hub dustcaps. C-record axle sets (may have been a hallucination) Shield logo BB spindles BB cups with shorter threaded portion (as later seen in Croce.) A brief period of Chromed BB bolts, before the grey ones. Ugly, but better-designed cranks (who could overlook that?) Victory hoods, C-rec cable housings (both white) Larger-diameter pulleys, like Victory, but still dark grey. Two-piece brake lever clamps. A wierd little protrusion inside the brake lever body (to facilitate an aero modification?) Ridiculously polished (not satin) headsets. I've heard that the late brake blocks had different markings, "Campagnolo" top and bottom.
