No. That is the standard TC head casting number that indicates oval holes and 1/2" reach spark plugs.
The block does have a coded casting date. Here, just above the dipstick hole is 8 D 9 which indicates 8th of April, 1949 for a car that came off the assembly line 4th October 1949. Sometimes the casting date is upside down.

The T Register has an online article explaining casting numbers and casting dates -
