Can someone verify the age of the Payne A/C condensers? Are they 2.5 ton units? I'm looking into buying a duplex and need to see how old the units are.

I tried looking at a couple of guides to tell the age but it didn't match up (Payne). If i look under Bryant, it indicates the units are from 2002, 3rd and 4th digit '02'. The units look older to me.

Day-Night - Later manufactured as 'BDP' (Bryant, Day-Night, Payne)
Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number (usually, but not
always) divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons. It is often in the last three to
five digits, but is sometimes closer to the middle.
Age: First two letters of the serial number indicate age, where the
first letter is the month and the second letter the year of manufacture
beginning with 1970
A=1970
B=1971
C=1972

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number usually (but not always)
divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons.
Example: 56BAB0042000A0
42 = size on thousands of BTU
42,000 Btu = 3½ ton
From 1964 through 1979 Bryant encoded age information in the
serial number with the first two digits indicating week of
manufacture and the letter following those first two numbers
indicating the year beginning R = 1964:
R = 1964
S = 1965
T = 1966
U = 1967
V = 1968
W = 1969
X = 1970
Y = 1971
A = 1972
B = 1973
C = 1974
D = 1975
E = 1976
F = 1977
G = 1978
H = 1979
In subsequent years Bryant simplified its system where, the first two digits of serial
number = Week of manufacture.
Third & fourth digits = Year of manufacture.
Example: 3188XXXXXX = 31st week of 1988.
Thanks!

Payne Furnace Serial Number Lookup White Pages
I inspected a home yesterday with a Payne 376CAV. gas furnace. This unit has two serial numbers; Number 4989A11553 appears with the model number near the top of the name plate Number 3103-7015 appears on the bottom of the name plate in the lower right corner Was this unit manufactured in 1989 or 2003??? Ducane: uses two different formats on serial numbers. All of our serial numbers are ten characters. The most common format is all ten characters are numeric. In this format the last 4 numbers indicate the year and the week of the year. An example is your serial number where the 03 is 2003 and the 20 is the 20th week of the year (2002.
How can I tell the age of a Unitary Products air conditioner or heat pump from the serial number?
Saturday, April 20, 2019
There are two different serial number formats for Unitary Products. Up until 2004, the third letter of the serial number was used to denote year of manufacture by the letter code below:
A = 1971, 1992. B = 1972, 1993
C = 1973, 1994. D = 1974, 1995
E = 1975, 1996. F = 1976, 1997
G = 1977, 1998. H = 1978, 1999
J = 1979, 2000. K = 1980, 2001
L = 1981, 2002 M = 1982, 2003
N = 1983, 2004 P = 1984
R = 1985 S = 1986 T = 1987
V = 1988. W = 1989. X = 1990
Y = 1991
C = 1973, 1994. D = 1974, 1995
E = 1975, 1996. F = 1976, 1997
G = 1977, 1998. H = 1978, 1999
J = 1979, 2000. K = 1980, 2001
L = 1981, 2002 M = 1982, 2003
N = 1983, 2004 P = 1984
R = 1985 S = 1986 T = 1987
V = 1988. W = 1989. X = 1990
Y = 1991

So the serial number below indicates that it was manufactured in 1996, based on condition of the unit.
From 2004 to the present, the first two numbers in the serial number, located at the second and fourth characters, are the year of manufacture. So this serial number shows that it was manufactured in 2009.
