The part number for your exhaust piece is challenging. I maintain a set of the old microfiche from the early and late 80s as a reference for obsolete stock numbers. Your number does not show up in the early 80s. However, a check of the LOCAT shows similar stock numbers, and gives the manufacture code of 88308. This code cross refers to Canadair/Bombardier, and one of the similar part numbers refers to the Dash-8. Since this aircraft was purchased in small numbers, it is possible that Canada did not inventory parts for it under NSNs, and instead bought spares using only the Canadair numbers.
Perhaps tommorrow I will dig up my later fiches and see if it shows up there, since the Dash-8 was a somewhat late purchase.
(The date on the piece does not fit in...there were no Dash-8 in 65. Are you sure of that marking, or could it be a 85?)
