Rear axle decoding?

Hi,

the tag on the rear axle of my 65 F100 says something like: NDN - E (upper row) and 3.25 4HD 313 (lower row). I can't find information about this specific tagging. All information I found, talks about different tag information. Can someone give me a hint, what this axle is about?

This is the tag in detail...


Thanks very much.

WDN-E = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.25-1 / Large Ball type Axle Bearings / No Limited Slip / 3,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

4HD = Assembled the 4th week (D) of August (H), 1964 (4).

313 is the code for the assembly plant, cannot be decoded.

1965 F100 3.25-1 AXLE code stamped on the Warranty Plate: 07

Dear NumberDummy,
oh damn, i thought it shows NDN instead of WDN, what makes quite more sense.

Thank you so much,
Joachim
