the cal. 27SC (replacement for cal. 12´´´ SC) was introduced in 1949 and produced until 1970. There have been two series, one from 1949 - 1970 and one from 1953 - 1965. They came with 18,000 vibrations per hour and I am not aware of any changes.
If we talk about cal. 27-AM 400 (based on cal. 12´´´-400), there was a change up to 19,800.
I am not 100% sure, but maybe someone else can confirm or correct me
