That will be the lower hull number in the Mk2 range. The numbers of the upper, lower, and serial number could vary by several hundred. Serial numbers of the mk1 and mk2 carriers were sequential and would have run almost to 29000, so yours is 4000 or so from the end of production.
Mk1 carriers ran from serial 1 and up to somewhere in the high teens(17,000 to 19,000). There was some overlap of mk1 and MK2 production that I have seen, then all the serials in the 20,000s were mk2 as far as I know.
