Post Decoding axel code

I'm trying to decode the axel code tag from the 9-inch diff on the '81 F-150 I'm working over. I can't find an exact match on-line or in my reference material can anyone translate all this for me?

First line:

WDM DC 1F(P?)04

Second line:

2 47 9 S3228

I'm curious about what I've got to work with, but not ready to get into it yet.

Thanks.

It says it's a 9" > 2.47:1 AXLE

What does the Axle code on the data sticker say ?

I can't read the data sticker, it's too scratched-up. So I crawled under and took the info off the axel tag.
