Brian in CA with a 49 (see below) is 4312-12489
4312-138G8 is later, though there should not be any letters in the sequence.
4312-11859 (your spare cab)is before Brian's, and just after a 48 I found in PA 4312-11137.
I wonder if the spare cab is from a 48 or a 49 given the number.
Here is some more interesting stuff:
4312-13914 has engine number T137 14247
Your engine number is T137 15153 so if your numbers are 4312-138?8 then your cab is earlier then the other truck, yet the engine is later.
I wonder if your tag numbers are 4312-139?? that might explain the engine numbers. Or one engine was swapped, or something got out of sync in production.
I need more data to base all of this on, as I am lacking in the 48-49 era.
I hope you find this tidbit of info interesting!
