Default Zinc labels

Several labels made from zinc are attached to the engine, steering house, and axles. The zinc material can be corroded sometimes wich makes them pretty fragile. I took one label from the righthand cylinderhead wich says:
Ford Motor Co of Canada
Engine&clutch service ass
Number-290-6097
Engine serial 4G-85319P

Does anyone know when this engine was built? It seems like these labels came with the production and it also seems like the engine has never been replaced.
The F60 has 3538 miles on the clock, not bad for 70 years of age. The engine has a grey colour covered with the same OD green as the rest of the vehicle. Photo was taken before the engine was taken out and cleaned with a steam cleaner.
