I'm guessing they are unobtainium at this point.
Most likely they are date codes, especially if "XX" is never greater
than 52 :-).
There are some signetics and TI and NatSemi line driver/receiver parts
with 72xx and 73xx part numbers, though.

I would have thought that too except that the numbers are TI SN72XXXN
series parts with a date code too. Here are a couple of board pictures:
I will see if I can get a better list of part numbers later today.
