Engine Stamp Identification

Evening all
I would like some help identifying the stamping from my 1970 442. I believe I know what it reads but want other opinions. My car is not numbers matching. This is just more for my own knowledge. Rather than influence your opinion I will wait until a few have weighed in as well before posting what I think it reads.

Concur. The 30M1xxxxx means that this block did come out of a 1970 A-body car.

Judicious application of a wire brush might answer that question, but I see an "M".
