Wow, a unique neat question! As a retired LR dispatcher from the 80's-90's , the coding is the following:

If it starts with a 1, its a master box

The first non one, indicates the location in town: 2 is downtown, 3 is Lakeport and 4 is the Weirs

The remaining (usual 2, rarely 3) digits indicate the box in that location of town.


With that said, it would be downtown master box 3, but I know of no such box, it might predate 1980.
With a leading 1, it would not be a street box (only).
