Deciphering Ford Part Number Prefixes

I know this ain't a diesel question, but curiosity got the best of me. I found info on how to decipher Ford P/N prefixes like F0TZ-xxxx but what haven't found is info on prefixes like 1,2,3,4 or 5C3Z or an XC or XU. Does anyboy have a link of info on what the prefix means? Thanks Nodak
