Door plate decode request

Hi - can't seem to find this info elsewhere on the site. I had no problem decoding the vin (1974 F350 460 San Jose plant), but would like help decoding the door plate info, if possible. Just looking to ensure my truck is as original as possible.

Here goes: 140 MT F356 N 4 G D6J DSO71

Thanks in advance!
