Default Pod numbers

Another silly question ...

On some of the larger Eagle models, I keep seeing alpha-numeric codes on the bottom of the sides of the pods. I once thought they were like a serial code for each pod, but I now notice that each code is different.

Anyone know what they are for and what sort of numbering convention they follow - if any?

Some of them (i.e those on the pod recently sold to Tim Ketzer on Ebay) are sheet serial numbers from Letraset sheets - just put there because they look 'pretty' I assume.

In looking through my Letraset sheets I found an exact match for one set of the numbers...by sheer coincidence...

Don't think there was any 'science' behind the numbers at all...
