52-23 Johnson 5hp

[gaffer1]

I have a TN 28 1952 or 1953 5hp Johnson outboard with serial no 994600 or possibly 99e4600. Under the serial no is what appears to be VOD or possibly MOD.
Can anyone identify the specific year or date of manufacture of this engine?

That serial number was built in 1953
