To further clarify…#1 is the front bearing and #5 is the rear bearing(thrust).
If you drop the oil pan you can see the laser etching on the first counter weight. The engraving on the block can be seen on the outside, where the block and the head meets(looking down, from the top).
It’s a cool interesting fact to see how close to Green your engine is!
