Rolex 5513 serial number vs. case back stamp

Guys,
I was offered a beautiful 5513. What makes me concerned is a potential discrepancy between the date of serial numbers and case back stamp.
The serial numbers read 2.9 million. The case back IV.68. That makes around 3 years difference.
Is that possible?

Many thanks,
Slawek

Serial number dating is a guess and can easily be off by a few years.

However, case backs simply unscrew.
