They are day and month by number and year by letter. About 1/2" high cast in place digits with what looks like a round head, blade type screw cast between each of day, month and year. R is 1948, S is 1949, U and T are both 1950, V was not used, W is 1951, X is 1952, Y is 1953 and Z is 1954, A is 1955. A wont matter with a SM, I just include that to show they started over.
