And then we'd have to speculate what the 'O' stands for...

Of course it could be like Z28 which meant absolutley nothing, it just happened to be the next free option code available on the forms.
Exactly...

Keep in mind its U oh 8 not U zero 8

Almost everyone botches the Z06 by calling it Z OH 6. Its Z Zero 6 or Z6.
