I'd say around 39-41. Rear carrier has been added. There should be a 2 digit date code stamped into the BB.
 
I see 61781 upside down, above it, just to the right of the chip looks to be the two digit date code. I'll guess 38 to 41 also.
 
I'll add that the date code isn't in line with the serial, sometimes perpendicular, or catty cornered.
