Rearend Tag

My 85 short flareside 2WD, manual 3 speed is now a chassis and motor (300)sitting in the driveway. The cab door sticker said open rearend but mine has obviously been switched. The metal tag on the differential reads:
WFE ABC DK21
3L00 9 S223B
So 3L00 means 3.00 ratio Limited Slip, I think. What does the rest of the tag mean?

WFE - Axle Identification

ABC
DK21 - date code
3L00 = 3.00 Limited slip

9 = 9"

S223B = Plant code
