101855 is the casting date, 10-18-55. The motor number which should match the vehicle number should be above the water pump manifold on the flat surface where the oil filler tube is mounted. The Utica engine manufacturing number should be on the passenger side at the rear, on an ear of metal just below the cylinder head. That said, these numbers sometimes appear in other locations so you may have to look around a bit if you don't find them where I've indicated. Photo of the Utica engine # enclosed.
If the motor was built as a 374, the Utica number will have a C or D prefix and the the motor number will begin with one of the body prefixes for a senior Packard, 5682, 5687, 5697 or 5699.
EDIT - of course it's possible to have a 4-1/8" bore engine that was a 352 engine subsequently bored from 4" bore, but I think your engine casting date precludes that.
