Are you refering to individual launchers, like serial numbers for each rocket?
From images:CZ-2C: Y802403, Y802805CZ-4A: 801H (?)
Quote from: VR2 on 12/05/2008 02:39 pmFrom images:CZ-2C: Y802403, Y802805CZ-4A: 801H (?) Thank you, VR2. May I ask if the second CZ-2C number is clearly visible? The first number fits the picture perfectly but my understanding is that the second one should be either Y802605 or Y802808.
The second CZ-2C number is not 100 % clearly visible. Good visible is Y_02_05. Second bad visible number is 8 or 6 (logically 6 - Y802605).
For a CZ-3 -- Y801303.
Quote from: Liss on 12/03/2008 01:48 pmFor a CZ-3 -- Y801303.This number is correct?From "your" video another number 801201H
Short number for CZ-2C launched at 12 Nov 2009 was Y21, and short number for yesterday's CZ-3C was Y2.Still don't know serial numbers of Shanghai-built CZ-2D and CZ-4C launched in December 2009.
Thank you limen4.Unfortunately the 'official' list of covers at http://www.cspaonline.cn/produce.php?job=news seems to froze on September 17...
Is it correct that the first four orbital launches of CZ-2 had DF-5 serial numbers?http://www.sinodefence.com/strategic/missile/df5-launches.asphttp://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau/cz-2.htmhttp://www.9ifly.cn/sub/viewthread.php?tid=407&page=3&authorid=1812&sid=5oe1Qj

It should be worth to note, that there are different versions:Chang Zheng 2C Y1 to Y11 have a shorter second stageChang Zheng 2C beginning with Y12 and Chang Zheng 2C/SM, Chang Zheng 2C/SMA and Chang Zheng 2C/FP have a enlarged second stageChang Zheng 2D Y1 to Y3 have a shorter second stageChang Zheng 2Dbeginning with Y4 have a stretched second stage

Only thing I can gather is 再加长 refers to those with fins.

CZ-3 s/n Y13 was not used and is now on display at the exhibition hall in XSLC.CZ-2E s/n Y2 was scrapped after involving in the cliff-hanging post-ignition abort on March 22, 1992 (with Aussat-B1, incidentally the first HS-601 satellite to reach space).Source
Per a personal message with a SAST employee, the rocket used to launch YG-14 is CZ-4B Y12.
Has anybody tried to collect factory numbers of Chinese launch vehicles?For example, for CZ-2C I've seen images with numbers Y802504, Y802706, Y902009 and Y903210 (that's from October 1992 with Freja).For a CZ-3 -- Y801303.For two CZ-3A -- Y901201 and Y901302.For a CZ-2D -- 4902Y.
Why do you people collect factory numbers of rockets? US, India, China, Japan, Russia ??
