I couldn't pass this one up, I'm amazed that it's all original! The only thing I could see was the plug was changed. It's got a metal roll brush too.

It was probably used so the company knew what part came off what assembly plant and where - either within the company's various casting plants, or within the same building. Like if something got messed up on a certain shift or line, they knew what ones to pull out and discard and what to send ahead. Kind of how they do with food that gets recalled - the batch and plant codes printed on the boxes are used to know which ones could be contaminated. I never noticed these myself - I will have to look closer.
Here's a photo I found online of a Kirby assembly line in the 1950s
