    A picture showing the size/position of the counterweight might help.  The numbers appear to refer to the SFI certification and not a part number.

    It may be a McLeod flywheel with that bolt-on weight.  You may want to contact them to see if it is their's. Also, you may be able to purchase a different weight if it is not correct for your application (28 or 50 oz-in) (see Jegs link for a kit).

    Seems like it would be better to contact the manufacturer to be sure but you could remove the weight and both bolts and weigh them.  Measure from the distance from the crank center to the approximate center of that mass (about 2/3 up from the bottom edge since it is a wedge shape.  Distance in inches times weight in ounces would give you oz-in of unbalance.  The specs state that it is neutral balance with no weight so the unbalance is coming only from the weight and bolts.  The weightxdistance will give you a close ballpark value where you can easily tell whether it is 28 or 50.  Can't hurt to try.
