Usually it's a Mylar decal attached to the axle tube.

To add further detail...

Not so much the model number but the axle's serial number is more helpful. Once the axle serial number is found (most are on a label in the middle of the axle) you can call Lippert (LCI), Dexter or the axle manufacturer and get all the exact and general part #'s needed for the axle, springs, hubs, brakes, etc.

This was very helpful prior to a long road trip this last summer. Wanting to be prepared, I was able to get all the bearing, race #'s and pre-purchase them to carry with me. The LCI employee back in Indiana was surprised that I was going through the effort to prepare. He said he gets calls weekly needing part #'s and overnight shipments to people that are stranded on the side of the road.

I've since made an "Emergency Shopping List" on Amazon with all the parts needed to rebuild the running gear on the trailer. If an emergency occurs it will be a very helpful reference with part #'s and pictures of the items.
