Rear Axle Tag question

guys I was under my truck today and found the rear axle tag and I think I have it mostly sorted out but don't really understand how the tag works.

top line 410 D8TA SB
bottom line 603901-4 LS


Door tag confirms
built in Kansas
8400lb GVWR
3800lb Front Dana 44
5300lb rear Dana 60 with 4.10's and Limited Slip

Here is my Vin X26SKEA2179
WB = 155
Color = S
Type = X262
Body = dbm
trans = K
Axle = B4
DSO = 21 ???

what is the rest of the tag telling me? thanks for the help.
