The Deere people hang out over here more. http://www.ytmag.com/jd/wwwboard1.html

A complete 60 orchard is a good find. Just going by memory but it could be a 55,56 or maybe a 57? The orchard models were built late in the 40/50/60/70/80 production and I think the 60 orchard even trailed a little into the 20 series production.
They were a low seat 60 with added sheet metal.
There never was a 630 orchard. They built the 620 orchard right through the 1959/1960 30 series production.
I'll look tonight for more accurate info if you can find that tag under the paint. Two Cylinder club can run the serial number and find even more details.
Rather than scrape the tag, try some paint remover.
The distributor is the correct Delco model for that tractor.
Real Deere parts, operators and service manuals can be had cheap from 1-800-522-7448.
The serial number plate should be rivited to the crankcase on the pulley side of the tractor. Just below and in front of the belt pulley.
Problem is sometimes thieves steal plates and build a rare tractor by mixing and matching parts.
