Some of Ten-Tec's filters have both the model number and the stock code stamped on them. Some have only the model number. Most I have seen have only the stock code. In many cases only some portion of the stock code is legible. Some of them have color marks on the crystals, such as blue green or red. My guess is that the colors were used when sorting the crystals by frequency.

My filters have the numbers 285 and 217 on them, as well as the stock code 
numbers

The Model 220, stock number 48058 is the "normal" stock 9 MHz filter in the Omni VI. It is used for opposite sideband rejection and bandwidth limiting in transmit, and as the non-narrow (neither NAR or N-1 or N-2) receive filter. It is probably used for the same purpose in some other Ten-Tec equipment.
