The date codes are printed/engraved at the lens mount on many lenses.

Not all lenses do have a date code.

Yeah, I looked but didn't find anything. The 200mm lens was introduced in 1988 and discontinued 2004, so it would be in that range.

I looked more closely at the 135L and it's 2004. The 200mm lens is 1998 (UM0550).
