Correct on the P/N. The 263 is the 263rd day of 1969 when your differential housing was cast. Thus does not mean the rear axle assembly was completed on this date - there is another stamping on the housing at 9 o'clock position next to the cover that has a code for when the differential itself, axle shafts, etc.. were added to the housing.

The other code Joe from joesw31 would know the answer on.

Don't know what the 4 would mean.
