Answer 2

Not SAE 8620, that's for sure, which is .18/.23% carbon, .70/.90% manganese, .035 phosphorus, .040% sulphur, .15/.35% silicon, .40/.70% nickel, .40/.60% chromium and .15/.25% molybdenum. Now it might be AISI 303 Stainless, which has 17.0/19.0% chromium and .60% molybdenum. Check out AISI 303, that could be what you're looking for...hope this helps.
