You're absolutely correct as regards the yard number. The build number is also correct, although it's usually referred to as the Board of Trade official number.

As for the hull number '390904,' Walter Lord (writing in 1986) disproved that as a latter-day myth. It has been repeated many times in books over the years, yet the majority of modern researchers believe it is untrue.

Best wishes,

Mark.
