Default What month in 2002 did AU's finish

Could anyone tell me what month in 2002 Ford finished production of the AU. I saw a 7/2002 AU XR6 today. Surely this has to be the last month they were made. What month did the BA's start?

LWB was AU. Even compliance plated as such. AU ran from 08/98-08/02

I believe the AU model was September 1998 until September 2002. I've worked on an 09/2002 plated BA, but also seen 08/2002 plated AUIIIs.
