Serial number question

I just acquired a south bend c9w10jr, cat no. 915-zc, 3 1/2’ bed. I am trying to get more history about the lathe but I am questioning the third digit on the serial number. The bottom part of the “8” looks home made-ish. Could it be a light hit and just filed in at the factory? Also, I can find lots of pictures of 9” c’s with horizontal motor mounted on benches, but this mount goes back to the floor. Is this original? Thanks for any input!

Thank you for the replies. I have been to that wswells site but wasn’t even close to finding that info. Also, I guess once I had “8” in my head I could not see another number. Thanks again
