I also found an 4-digit number on the left front tow hook of the M48A5
Is this correct, or should there be some more digits?
If you mean left front as if you are seated in the drivers position, yes that should be it.

If you mean left front as if you are seated in the drivers position, yes that should be it. Sometimes they will end with a "C" when stamped on the back deck and hull, but not always.
Got to see more pictures of her to tell

SN 5934 (M48A5 hull with M60A2 turret) VFW Post 1181, Valley Station, KY
Similar to M60A3s, do the SNs without an A signify "new build" (as opposed to upgraded) A5s?

This one retains her original SN, That's because she's a one off using an M60A2 hull with M48A5 turret.
SN 5934 (M48A5 hull with M60A2 turret) VFW Post 1181, Valley Station, KY
The SN for her is for an M48A1 hull, which is correct since that's what she is.

Well we have nicknamed the M48 with an M60A2 the 'Frankentank' so what do we call an M60A2 with an M48 turret??
