Sticker on bottom of Raspberry Pi 3?

There's a white sticker on the bottom of the Raspberry Pi 3 that contains 4 sets of numbers.
What exactly do each of these numbers represent?
Would one of these numbers be the revision number?
Thanks!

That's a Farnell/Embest Pi made in PRC.
The first number is a product identifier, 400774 for all Pi3. You could say that was a revision number - if there's a significant future Pi3 variant this will change.
The next number I'm not sure about, always 1401, the same on all Pi models, perhaps a date code 2014 week 1.
The third number is a serial number 000001-999999.
The fourth is a date code for week of manufacture eg 1625 = Week 25 2016.
All four numbers are duplicated in that Datamatrix barcode.
None of those numbers relate to /proc/cpuinfo.
