These are dealer codes. It would be easier to just phone them and ask what they represent.
The front and rear diff use GL5-75W-90 or 140. Additional 4 oz bottle of friction modifier also has to be added to the Limited slip Trac-Lok rear diff if you have one.
The front transfer case uses ATF+4 fluid and should also be changed.
It looks to be the same GL5 gear lube with the friction modifier as the first lubricant part #.

Surface disc is a round 2 or 3 inch in diameter disc that you put on a die grinder to clean and renove any rust, silicone or gasket material left on the differential cover and housing. Making both mating parts clean and ready to install a new gasker or silicone so the differential fluid doesn't leak out.
