WC and WD Serial Number Location?

I have a friend that got either a WC or WD with his farm and wants to know where to find the serial number tag.
 
WC is stamped just above the oil fill plug on the rear differential. WD is stamped in a flat spot on the rear of the left brake housing. Just above the spring hole and below the stamped cover.

Thanks. Is there an easy way to tell if it is a late WC or a WD. Seems to me like the late WC's looked similar to the WD's.

The easiest way to identify the WC is the hand brakes. It also has a very long shifter handle that goes to the tranny which is located down under the gas tank.

The WD/WD-45s have a hand clutch on the RH side as well as the normal foot clutch.
The WD/WD-45s also have the "spin-out" adjustable rear wheels although sometimes these are replaced with non adjustable wheels.

The sheet metal is almost identical so from a quarter mile away, the tractors might look the same.
 
Fast way to tell the difference is the rear end of a WC looks like it might have come out of a truck, round center section. Rear end of a WD or 45 (same) is a special casting not like a traditional round looking rear end. It has a cover plate, nearly flat, on the back. A WC has a long shift lever too, WD and 45 (one straight and the lataer with a short bend to the rear), are shorter.
 
Early WC where unstyled and the hood was a whole lot different then the late ones. The latter one look a lot like the WD/WD45 but the placement of the transmission is different on the WC then on the WD/WD45. Best way to know for sure what it is, is getting the serial number and then matching it to figure out the year.
