[QUOTE="TheAntiqueHobbit, post: 4380073, member: 14028"]So I figured out how the numbers work! They're NSS (National Screen Service) numbers used to organize movies they distributed materials for. The first number is the year (kudos to the person who guessed it!). The second number is the number of the film itself that uniquely identifies it. What's odd is that I can find the movies these numbers match up to in the NSS database, even those that have the handwritten numbers.
