2892093 = 69 383HP 440/440HP application (found in 383 Road Runners & Super Bees; 440-4bbl GTX's, Charger/Coronet R/Ts; 440-6bbl cars; others)
2527= Assembled Friday, June 28th, 1968
4382= 4,382nd transmission assembled that day.

There 'should' be a 13 digit VIN on the passenger's side of the transmission. Check that.

How do you decipher something like this?

The small numbers give us the 10,000 day date of assembly and the # for that day.
The large numbers are the VIN

9G278427. Looks like it came out of a Plymouth (RR, SS, GTX)

I track VIN numbers for 69 STL built cars. That VIN falls in a range of Plymouths.

So how does that work? Do they do batches of Dodges then batches of Plymouths or are the Plymouths on one line and the Dodges on the other line? If there are two different lines are the VINs assigned to the line? For instance if the Dodges are on line 1 and the Plymouths on line 2, then are the Dodges all VINs 1XXXXX and the Plymouths 2XXXXX?

There are some nuances and each plant may have some variations but generally....

VIN assignment is administrative and has nothing to do with actual production. Cars are not sent down the line in VIN order. ("My car was the xxxth down the line" is a fallacy) The VIN means very little to the guy actually building the car.

VINs are assigned by make (first letter of VIN like L, B, V, R, W, P, D, X) so you will find batches of each. This is a STL plant car and they only built R,W and X cars that year. So that narrows it down to B body Plymouths, B body Dodges and, as a different model, Chargers.

If you have a data base of VINs from a plant, like I do for 69 STL built cars, you can see the assigned batches. If a VIN in that batch range pops up, like this one, you can reasonably presume that VIN falls in a known range of VINs assigned to a model and project the new VIN to be from that model.
