That numbering system was put in place sometime late 1942 or early 1943. It replaced the earlier domestic vehicles number system. An example of early would be 41-1-1234. The 42 was the year in service, the 1 was always a 1, and the remainder of the digits were just sequentially applied.
There does not appear to be any rational for the later system. The later numbers would be applied over the early ones.
