Default ID Numbers on diff.

Found these numbers on a tag on my 8.8 differential on my 1985 GT : 274F 73A755314. Can anyone decipher these. Also, I was checking my gear ratio, 1 360 degree turn of the tire turned the drive shaft 2 and 3/4 turns, by my close approximation. What exact ratio do you think this is? Also, with both tire off the ground, when i spun one tire the other tire spun in same direction, both forward. Does this indicate traction-lock? I was hoping the tag numbers would answer these questions.
