You're thinking of the UK right handed fork version this is the French version with the pisstake valves!

how do I decode the serial number?

Surely if you are close enough to read the serial number you can get decent pictures. And a bit more info.

Re:

Excuse my piss-taking reply earlier...I simply couldn't resist as you'd not posted any pics of it then
Being serious though, you'd have more chance of getting help in the road section I think, and you'll need some better pics.
Good luck with the investigations!
