need differential tag decoded

Ok, I'm kinda curious here, I changed the fluid in the diff on my truck, and took the data tag off to clean it up, and get the info from it. I'd like to know, what the numbers and letters mean on it. could someone decode this for me please?


tag says
WGG H 2F16
3 08 6 7 T S392A I'm, assuming the 3 08 means 3.08 gears?

Just in case anyone is wondering, this is the differential on an 83 2wd Ranger.

3 08 is the ratio. Most likely non limited slip.
