Ranger or Custom Decode help

You would think I have this figured out, but I dont... Want to put emblems back on the bed panels.... My trim Code is
Trim Code = DU4

1976 F250

DU F100/500 (81A) Regular and Super Cab Tan all vinyl

The 4 Should signify Custom/Ranger

Do I read this chart straight accross, if so then its a Ranger, but my glove box still has what appears to be the original Custom emblem....

There is a second row for "4" farther down in the column that is a custom.

The 4 should signify Custom/Ranger.

4 = Styleside pickup box (bed), and since it's cab body style 81A = Custom (6th entry in pic).

Custom Cab is a misnomer, as there were no F100/350 Custom Cabs after 1969. 1970 was the first year for F100/350 Customs.
