  Most likely, you're seeing assembly numbers that were used by the factory to keep fitted parts together during a gun's journey through the various phases of assembly. It's not uncommon to see the same number stamped on the yoke (aka: crane) and the yoke cut in the frame, as well as on the inside of the side plate.
  
  These assembly numbers have no relationship to any certain style or model of gun. On S&W's built after 1957, model numbers that had a dash with a number following (-1, -2, etc.) it signified various engineering changes.
  
  Of course you know that the serial number (on the butt) can be used to establish an approximate production year on most S&W's revolvers..... [;)]
  
  Hope this answers your question....
