Cracking the Code?

Hey guys. As I've been searching through various ship models, (looking at PBR) I've noticed a code appearing on numerous hulls. The Astero has 302-VA1 painted on its side. The Stratios has a 302-242V1 on its hull. On the Nighthawk and Golem the code reads more like the ship name: N8-HWK and G-01LM. I'm sure there are others. But it's not on every ship. Only a few. Why? It made me curious enough to ask about the purpose of these codes. Do/will they serve any function? Is there a connection to lore? Or is this just artistic license?

And just like old video games, there is an actual cheat where creating a character with one fo these as your name will put one in your school station's hangar.

Weird you say that because yesterday I was going to make an alt named CND H-4WK after I saw the writing in the side of my Hawk, which was strangely battered and bruised, despite having never been undocked...

There is also one on the nag, like the tempest. I noticed last night. I will try to get it this evening.

There is writing on the sides (rear quarters) of the Tempest that looks like it says "Clear Skies".

Not sure if Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I is intended to refer to 'PMS', but it certainly makes people rage when you use it on them.
