Default Power break booster

I have a 64 roaster and am trying to see if the booster is the original. Can anyone tell me how to read the numbers. The car was built oct 29, 1963

The Julian date may be on the front of the tab and on the back side will be the part #

The number on the power brake booster tab for 64 (and 65 with drum brakes) is 4311.

It's a brake booster rather than a break booster.
