Default Engine ID help request

My son just bought a 1961 Jeep with what looks like a small block Chev V-8 in it but can't make an engine ID from passenger side front block code which is 0I52757F56F

Does the code above look familiar to anyone? TIA

Not to me. Likely a 265 or 283 cubic inch, however. Those early Jeeps couldn't take much more HP than those.

Doesn't look like a block code to me.
