hi. welcome aboard.

depending on what you're looking to find out, that pad will tell you at least a couple of things. yes, it is indeed a 440.
the block casting numbers I think would tell you a little more.
I googled a bit and managed to find this:
(I hope it helps)

B/RB Mopar Blocks (stock)

Block Serial Number Stampings (On B engines, 351-400 ci, there is a pad on the right front of the engine below the distributor. On RB engines, 413-440 ci, there is a pad on the left front of the engine. These pads contain stampings that will quickly identify an engine and usually tell you a little about it.)The stampings on the top of the block will look something like this: C H 426 B 8-3-32 (These particular markings are of the form Series / Hemispherical / CID / Bodytype Month-Day-The Number Engine Built This Day These marking are noted below. The stamping on the bottom of the block will be the formal serial number for that block and read similar to the following: 9-10-68 PT38326010001. These numbers are decoded as follows: A. The first numbers are the date of the stamping (9-10-68) B. The next letters indicate the engine assembly plant- in the case of our example, Trenton. C. The next three digits indicate cubic inch displacement: 383 cid. D. The next four digits (2601) are the 10,000 day calendar numbers: 2601 = Sept 10, 1968. E. The final four numbers (0001) show that this was the first engine assembled that day. SERIES: S = 1962 T = 1963 V = 1964 A = 1965 B = 1966 C = 1967 D = 1968 E = 1969 F = 1970 G = 1971 H = 1972 J = 1973 4T = 1974 5T = 1975 6T = 1976 7T = 1977 8T = 1978 OTHER STAMPINGS: Diamond = 0.008-in. oversize tappets Maltese Cross = 0.001-in. undersized crankshaft Maltese Cross and an X = 0.010 undersized crankshaft A = 0.020-in. oversized cylinder bore B = 0.010-in. undersized main and rod bearings E = cast crankshaft H = standard 4bbl HP = high performance LC = low compression O.S. = 0.005 oversized valve stems P = premium fuel recommended R = regular grade fuel may be used S = special engine WT or TW = water test X = oversized valve guides ASSEMBLY PLANTS: K = Toluca PT = Trenton M = Mound Road T = Trenton (400 and 440 only) MV or MN = Marysville
