Steering Box question

Is the Mustang Hipo steering box different then the standard Mustang box and is there color marks on the steering rod that tells which is which?Seen some with two red lines and others with yellow and blue lines?

The HiPo box is a 16:1 ratio, roughly 4 turns lock to lock. The Std is 19.9:1.

HCC AX is the tag number for manual, HCC AW for power.

OK I know how to read a tag but if no tag is present and Ford had to mark them some way so the workers knew which box went to what car on the assembly line or did they make up for it with the pitman arm?Also a color system has always been in place on Ford parts at Ford so really question didn't get answered but appreciate the imput.

I don't recall there being any color coding on the steering boxes.

The only marking I found on mine was a small red paint daub on the top cover, have no idea what it means. The GT350 pitman arm had a lot of yellow paint on it...
