Reax axle code question

Hello there!

I need help decoding the real axle code of my 2002 4X4 XLT Explorer, 4.0 engine.
In the driver's door decal the code found for the axle is 45.
The rear differential has a tag with two lines.
The first: S PM V 651 B
The second: 355 followed by A8? or 48? or 4B? or AB? (is poorly legible)
and ends with 2D23.
Anyone could decode this?
Thanks in advance
Happy rides!

Andy
