Numbers on razors in general are a mystery. On some brands they denote size in mm. In some they relate to width. In some the higher the number the better the quality. In some they don't seem to mean anything. So take your pick. Unless someone here has an old catalogue. Henckels is still in business so you might contact them and ask. You have nothing to lose.

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.
