Yes. And of course what we know now that they didn't know then is that D-Day was only a few months away, which may be the reason for the sudden expanded call up.
Here's a list of the current classifications. I don't know if they've changed that much since WWII. Missing from the list is Woody Allen's 4-P. "In the event of war, I'm a hostage."
Class 1-A: Available for unrestricted military service
Class 1-A-O: Conscientious objector available for noncombatant military service only
Class 1-O: Conscientious objector to all military service
Class 1-O-S: Conscientious objector to all military service (separated/discharged from military service)
Class 2-D: Registrants deferred because of study preparing for the ministry
Class 3-A: Registrants deferred because of hardship to dependents
Class 3-A-S: Registrants deferred because of hardship to dependents (separated/discharged from military service)
Class 4-D: Minister of religion
Class 1-D-D: Deferment for certain members of a reserve component or student taking military training

What's a 1A? Is it related to the draft?
Yes. And of course what we know now that they didn't know then is that D-Day was only a few months away, which may be the reason for the sudden expanded call up.
