Dana stamped every axle housing. Rust most likely took the numbers out. Now if you find an axle the numbers do not cross get ready for some fun. Some where inside that axle Dana did some jury rigging. The ones I found was the OD of a bearing race was wrong. The bearing race OD had been cut wrong, as in to small. What Dana did was to grind the race OD smaller to fit the incorrect race diameter.
I have found two Dana 61's and one 71 with that issue. I haven't found that issue on 60's or 70's.
