Help with engine serial number

I bought this motor from pick-n-pull and I noticed the serial number looked different than what I have been seeing on the internet for other engines.



This is the area on the rear of the engine, left hand side just under the head.





Can anyone show me the list of where the build dates are for the different serial numbers or tell me the build date for this engine?

I was wondering if maybe this was a rebuild.

Truck has a build date of June 01 2004.

Thanks.

Kevin
