The easiest way to tell a 356 block from the later 288/327 is look at the distributor location. On the 356 block distributor is almost dead center directly under a freeze plug and the oil pressure sender and plumbing is forward of the distributor. On the 288/327 block the positions are reversed with distributor being forward of center between two freeze plugs and the oil pressure sender is behind directly under a freeze plug. I believe the distributor is also forward of center on the older 282 blocks used thru 1947 but someone else will have to confirm that.
As far as numbers, download the engine serial number guide and find your motor number. Looking at the chart and the range of numbers you can determine which engine and year of manufacture you have in case someone did an engine swap.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/PackardEngineSerials.pdf
