Default Question for John Z

Or anyone who may know the answer. What does the number painted on the bottom of the Posi case during assembly signify? I'm referring to the paint markings (war paint) that were present or added to the chassis as a C-1 came down the assembly line.

I'm not familiar with painted markings on the bottom of the axle - just the yellow stripe on top and the white "X" on the brake drum for metallic brakes. Maybe Tom Parsons (DZAUTO) is more familiar with what you're talking about.

I have seen a lot of junkyard/salvage yard applied markings on drive train parts. I have also seen rebuilders markings.
