Question rearend identification

I was wondering if any of y'all can help me. I wrote down what I think are the numbers/letters of the tag on the rearend. the tag is on the passenger side of the rearend bolted to one of the housing bolts. is this the right tag? anyways here are the #s I have: (remember this is what it looks like to be, 29 year old truck).

thanks!

P.S. I was told this a Ford 9 inch.

I think you are missing a "W" from the first line and a "2" from the second line...

I'm not real sure. I used one shot of brake cleaner to clean it up a little. on the tag it kinda looks like there might be some more stuff on there but I'm not sure. thanks
