US Navy Number on Tailgate?

While stripping the paint off the tailgate of my '49, I discovered a series of letters and numbers painted over the original color, which was battleship gray. The 4 layers of paint on the tailgate matched the 4 layers of paint on the body, so I am assuming the tailgate is the original. There is no vin tag on the body, and I cant find a vin # on the frame either. I am aware of where they should be, but I believe they are long gone.

Is anyone able to do military id decoding? It would be interesting to learn something from the military #.

Can you post another photo of the upper right corner of the tailgate?
