There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to the initial 2 digit padding number that follows the fiscal year; the UH-72's start with 72, but the AH-64E's start with 03 (the AH-64D's all started with 05), the CH-47F's start with 08, and anything derived from the UH-60M Black Hawk start with 20. Some types have their sequence numbers padded with zeros.
