Default Engine block code question - Can't find link

Sorry guys. Yet another block decode question. I searched but couldn't find the site links that I used before.

here are the block codes:

GM 23 3970010 (350, 68-86, I think)

010 AND 020 on the back of the block (? I know what ONE of these would mean under the timing cover, but both?)

front pad number : V07030NR

I know the V is Flint but can't find the "NR". Also, is it 0NR or ONR? (zero vs oh?)
