Hi DickJ
 
You can tell the 8" from the 9" by looking at the carrier mounting  bolts 
below the pinion bearing assembly. If you can get to the lower mounting  bolt 
for 
the carrier with a long socket, it's an 8". If it takes a box end  wrench to 
get under the pinion housing to get the bolt off, it's a  9".
 
Not sure what the other codes are. Probably application, width, brake size,  
etc.
 
You are correct in assuming the ratio is 2.79.
