To follow up on this, I finally had the time to look at the 480 and 481 and double check the serial numbers:
The frame serial numbers are located on the left side back face of the frame on the K36s. Every part on the engines was originally marked with this number. It is always interesting when working on them to see how many parts have been swapped around over the years. The tender frames and cisterns were also marked with the same numbers.
480
481
Since the plate in question is marked 1234 1/4 E68 on the back it belonged to the 480, not 481.
