The long one is its official serial number which is unique to each piano. The short one, the one which has a letter of the alphabet and 4 digits is an in-factory, "work number" that the piano gets until it is ready to the point where it can be assigned its official serial number. Since the work number has only a letter and 4 digits, it is possible for that same number to be on more than one piano but the official serial number can only belong to one piano. Someone will have to find the official serial number, probably 6 digits and in the 300,000 thousands to look up the date of manufacturing.
