6015 isn't the serail number, it's part of the casting. The serial number would be on the pad behind the oil filter. If all you can see in an "A" (From GPA?) it could have been stamped too lightly to see now or ground down but the "A" was too deep to grind away. The Ford GPA was the amphibous ("A" for amphibious) version of the GPW. At some point late in the war a batch of GPA's were disassembled and used for parts. Many of those engines ended up in various other jeep motor applications such as gensets, welders, and other jeeps. I have one that's going into GPW 37718 because I can't find the original motor. Some folks are willing to pay quite a bit for the right motor because unlike Willys, the Ford motors matched the frame and data plates when they left the factory. In other words, for a factory restoration all three numbers must be matching. Here's a picture of the serial number on my GPA motor on the pad behind the oil filter.
Here's what I meant by the 6015. They all hav ethat.
