BEAU/F data plate?

Found among a GI’s bring-back items is a small aluminum data plate marked…

TYPE “BEAU/F”
SERIAL No “FMC”
“4146” (or “4168”)

Entries in quotes are die-stamped into the plate. TYPE and SERIAL No are printed or etched as per a manufactured olata plate.

Thoughts, please, as to plate’s purpose, meaning of entries?

Thank you,
Steve
