Interesting but not helpful, according to this in the 2nd link

"Last point: once a product ships, the rules for build numbers become even
more complicated and different. So, if you have Service Pack 2 for Office
2003, you might see a nonsensical number like 6552 or something. Don't
worry about it, it's not tied directly to a date in the same way anymore."

IOW, don't read anything into the build numbers other than documented.

Also, came across the following 2 pages which go into detail of what
the 'build number' actually represents.
