Weldon: Your walk to the shed can best be described as doing true "legwork" in seeking an answer for me. Thanks much. Now, you've raised an intriguing issue in itself. See the post above by K.B.-826 in which he talks about the format of the plate being changed. Given that the 856 I'm looking at is a '69 diesel but lacks the "D" on the tag, and given that your two '69's are both diesels with the "D" on the plate, one can assume with good certainty that the plate format change occurred after your two machines were manufactured, but before "my" machine was.

So, the plate data format change occurred some time mid year of the '69 model run. A trivial fact in the bigger scheme of things, but one that nonetheless is interesting from the standpoint of change in the history of the manufacturer. Someone, somewhere, owns a '69 IH/Farmall that was the first to wear the new format plate. Again, trivial, but somewhat interesting to ponder where that machine ended up and what duties it performed.
