Speedmaster 145.022-74 Dial Question

Update, I pulled the trigger.. Bought a '77 145.022. It's in great condition:

1. Unpolished case
2. Serial 3992XXXX - places production August 1977
3. Correct dial, hands and bezel - in very nice conditon and colour
4. Correct bracelet - in really nice condition, with spare link
5. Correct red box with its outer beige colour cardboard box, again in very good condition
6. Orginal receipt from 1978 with warranty card and owners manual

The curious item is the caseback, as it has 145.022-74 ST stamp, however, as the watch is very good condition, I'm thinking that the case back is as it was when bought new...

This thread seems to be covering a similar thing:

Will be getting an extract when the service is up and running again.

Oh, did I buy 'the bible' and have ordered the nifty case opener from this forum's member.

The sales receipt is early 78, can't wait to order an extract. The cashback must have been swapped very early on as the patina matches the rest of the watch..

I noted that it has a number on one its lugs, done very nicely but freehand, what does it denote? I can't find any references to numbers on lugs in the book..
