Rear Axle Tag Decode
Good day FTErs
I'm trying to decode an axle tag that is in very bad condition.
I can hardly read the info as it is rusted and crusted but here is what I believe it says:
15M C1
3.70 5EB 3C(or G)2
I welcome any input.

WDM-C1 = Ford 9" Rear Axle /
3.70-1 / No Limited Slip / 3,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
5EB = Assembled the 2nd week (B) of May (E), 1965 (5).
The other jazz is the assembly plant code (3 digits) and design change (4th digit).
