W91 = LNT 900, diesel
2 = Detroit 6-71N OR Cummins NTC290 six cylinder diesels. (Where did you find an 8V92 under that engine code?) OP can confirm what it is.
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
EC7515 = 1979 numerical series, I can't determine the production month.
You should have a certification label with transmission and axle info etc.

1979 has the Warranty Plate (with all the codes stamped on it) and the Certification Label (VIN and misc jazz). 1980 only has the Certification Label.
It is located on the left door face below the latch, where the Warranty Plate was located 1963/79.
