I ran into that situation just once.  Now I have them open the cans and
right the dates right on the invoice.  The ULC panels have serial numbers on
them so it makes identifying specific panels easier but not completely
fool-proof (the serial number isn't on the board).  The solution would
probably involve an extra step at the factory but if they did that with all
their units, there would be no argument.
