It sounds like an ID plate, with the body # or serial #. Some trucks came with them some not. Mine did not have one- or any holes that would show that it was there. A lot of folks make their own personal plate to put there.

maybe a body ID the numbers dont match the serial numbers , i dont think it was added on by anyone either , i have a good history of this truck , a surplus parts dealer bought the truck in the late seventies directly from military service and i remember seeing it in his warehouse when i was a kid then a family friend bought it and has had it since up until my purchase in 2019 heres the numbers maybe someone can shed some more light on it , 49102-46689

Body serial. Won't match any other number on truck. My 53 has one.
