1962 Axle codes (stamped on "pumpkin")

Anyone know where I can find a list? I have wire brushed the crud off and I see a code that looks like "A M03 05" Does that make sense? Thanks!

According to my info, AM 0305 would be a 3:36 Posi-traction assembled march 5th. Do you see a large, vertical "P" cast into the pumpkin, on the other side? There you'll also find the casting# and casting date. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the fast reply. It is a "P" case, '812' casting with a cast date of B26 (feb 26). I just didn't know how the ratio decoded.
