What does "3" mean as first number in Buck part number

[Happy Hippo]

I wanted to order a 112 Brown Slim Pro. The part number is 0112BRS6-B. This guy has one but the part number is 3112BRS6-B. Why a 3 instead of a 0?

I believe the 3 indicates the knife was made for sale in Canada. It probably has a nail nick instead of thumbstuds, correct?

It is from Canada but the picture shows thumb studs. The picture may be a stock photo. I was surprised they still sold that but we'll see tomorrow if they really have it. After I ordered it, I now see it says they are out of stock. So maybe they still had one. You are a genius. I had another knife like, Slim Select that had the same thing.
