I suppose the "9" is for September and the "6" is 1986? What to the other digits mean?

Sure-the first digit of the quarter kicks it off (in this case quarter 3) and the next the month in the quarter (3rd month, so Sept.). The date covers the next two (19) and the year is a single digit (6) followed by the plant shift that packed it (1). So Sept. 19, 1986, 1st shift.
Quite a helpful thing sometimes.
