Engine size, firing border, c-30

On the left side of the block...i.d. at rear "522S"...front "233113795".."green diamond"...in the middle (production #? "61963-HH bb"...Is it 290cc or 292cc 6cyl engine ?(for firing order, head torque specs). Would add pic but mobile app does not want to attach.

153624 firing order. All straight sixes that I know of.
Green Diamond is a slightly updated version of the "HD" series flathead six. This design was purchased from Willys. Therefore, many, many Willys flathead six, IHC HD, IHC GRD parts interchange.
HD/GRDs were made in two basic sizes 213/214 ci and 232/233 ci.
There is a smaller displacement that is rarely seen. 174ci?
The chances on your C series are overwhelmingly in favor of the the larger sizes.
C-Series came with HD. The GRD was retrofitted because it is mostly a bolt-in.
MY first C-30 came with a GRD, retrofitted.

MM--thx much for the info. Any way to distinguish between the 213 and the 232? Suppose i should have measured the piston diameter/throw...

The displacement is stamped on a pad near the front of the engine. "G R D....."
One of your listed numbers has "233" in it. It's most likely a 233.
