Never seen a DC number before....is that on the Fan housing or the crankcase?
If you look at the Crankcase just in front...or behind...depends which way you look at it....but anyway, between the oil breather and the fan housing will be the engine number as well, see if this matches the number you got

You can see the number is across from the distributor. and it must be stamped on the case, not the tinware.
