Actually... the number is on one of the two "prongs" that come off the
tumbler assembly.  I'm referring to the prongs that lift or lower the door
lock mechanism to lock and unlock the door.

It's a 4 digit code.

In a funny coincidence, I just removed the handle from Al Knoll's van today
so that he could get an extra key made.

Symmetry...

Cheers,

Jeff

I'll add - as long as it hasn't had that lock cylinder replaced or
rekeyed. The number is on the handle, not the cylinder. When a handle
is replaced, the cylinder is usually transferred to the replacement,
and the number won't match the actual cylinder. It may make sense to
check for matching numbers on a couple of handles, if you don't know
they're all original.
