Help identifying this rear end?

I picked up this 56 f100 about a month and I am going to being restoring it but know very little about these trucks. I have restored a couple of porsches and one austin healey but never an american truck. This is just one of many questions I will be asking. I don't know if this rear end is stock or not but I took these numbers off of the tag and hoping some one can give me an idea what I have. EB-AG5 3FB 00 9 863 A Thanks

Hey Egarage,
Welcome Aboard! Let's bump this back up to see what
kind of feedback you can get. If you had a pic you'd get your answer
a bit quicker.

Welcome to FTE,

This might help Ford Rear Axle Assembly Identification - Page 05 - FORDification.com Is it possible you missed a letter before the EB? If you did and it's a W it looks like it's 72-76 Montego or Torino 9".

I don't know if this rear end is stock or not (it's not), but I took these numbers off of the tag and hoping some one can give me an idea what I have.
