I do not think that is the engine number.

This photo shows what should be the engine number (????9378) http://album.ee/node/18265519/50142191

Engine number identification http://www.pantherownersclub.com/PantherPage/p-ts-eng.html

"the engine number is located on the crankcase just below the barrel"

I think what you must have is an immediately pre-war 'Model 30' or '350C' circa 1938-39.  The '350' indicates the engine capacity and the 'c' denotes coil ignition, which fits nicely with the Miller generator.
