Meanings of marks on the serial number of 8N tractor

[FarmerHR1939]

Recently we bought a 8N ford tractor. The serial number stamped on the right hand side of the engine has marks that we would like to understand if possible. The stamping is as follows:
half diamond pointing to the right 8N 467513 diamond, <.
Can anyone help me understand what the non numerical marks mean ?
I appreciate your help. Thank You

Hi FarmerHR1939, Welcome!!
Diamonds before and after designate the 8N-C which had the larger 0.090 sleeves. Only seeing part of the diamond, or star, is common.

To be more clear to the O.P., it might be better to call them "thicker" sleeves, as the internal bore remained the same.
