I suspect that if you ever strip the engine fully that you will find the same number on the main caps. Not seen this on too many non S engines but it was common practice on the S's.

I just stripped my early 850 and found a number stamped at the oil pump end, with similar numbers on the main bearing caps and the conrods. I assume its some sort of assembly number used by the bloke putting the engine together.
