3894860= 12 bolt
B249= casting date of Feb 24, 1969
12345 67890= test marks
dunno about the big 56.
Check the left side (passenger front) of your axle about mid-way and see what that number is. That will tell you your ratio/posi.

Like the doc prescribes, look at the passenger axle tube, front edge. A code will be stamped into the tube. Here's some info on what to look for and where:
