Binoculars made in Russia and the USSR (1 Viewer)

Hello
I have a question about binoculars made in Russia and the USSR.
Most binoculars made in Russia and the Soviet Union have a special acronym engraved or printed on them, and these acronyms are not the same.
for example:
I know that
Б = B Binocular
П = P Prismatic
Ц = C Central Focus
The number has also been added to the БПЦ Such as 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.
But my question is what do these numbers mean and what are the differences between these numbers?
I am sending pictures of some ZOMZ binoculars with this letter
Thank you very much

Different model numbers in chronological order.

The first 12x40s had larger more complex eyepieces with better correction.

Almost 6 degree field.

and did you know that many Russian optical instruments had a serial number with the first two numbers indicating the year of manufacture.
