Wait until you actually get your replacement and confirm the actual serial number has 15 characters then. I assume you are basing this idea on correspondence you have rather than reading an actual serial number on the device. Probably a typo.
Mine is built Nov 30th 2016 and has both.Would seem the recent builds are coming with both Anatel and Trashcan logos fitted.

What if your Mavic serial is 15 characters? I sent mine back for a warranty repair and they are sending me back a new (possibly refurbished) one with a serial number beginning 08QUD. The U is the obvious extra character. Sorry if this has been asked before.
I'm reading a post from Logger on page 5 that seems to summarize the algorithm pretty well. I was wondering if we can tell if a mavic is refurbished from this?
I sent in a mavic a few weeks ago with the care refresh being applied. Therefore, I get either a brand new drone or a refurb. The replacement drone that I am receiving has the following serial number:
08QUE4800105DC. The original drone was 08QDDBM01203CG.
Everything I have read seems to indicate that the character at position 4 is constantly "D". However, in this case it's U. This is similar to what was reported by Nightowl702 and mnobes.12. mnobes.12 said his was through refresh as well. I'm not sure about Nightowl702.
Are any people getting brand new Mavics with a "U" in the fourth position? I'm honestly just trying to figure out if this is a refurbished or brand new unit. According to the decoder site, it says it was manufactured on Saturday, April, 8th 2017. This was just before the time I sent my drone in for repair/replacement, so I figured maybe it was brand new. For all I know, this could be the date of repair completion of a drone that was refurbished. Would anyone know if the same S/N gets used on refurbs or do they get new ones?
Mine was made Sunday, September, 25th 2016
