I'm betting maybe a LP95. But just AWAG.

It should be
3aa2400 84/9007/81
as the first number in the serial number is the year (84). So it should be the same as the first hydro which what is on the listing. The second number is the batch (9007) and the last is the tank from that batch (81). But none of that helps with the size.
The M8303 is Faber's manufacture's number.
The 3aa is steel and 2400 is the service presure - but you already know that.
Given the tank is 7" in diameter that would probably make it a LP85. A LP95 would be 8" in diameter. The height is with the valve which helps little but not much.

Tech diving limited has a chart with most of the Faber's listed. Break out the measuring tape and see what size it is.
