This is what I get using a spreadsheet :
14/05/15 5613
09/10/15 5761
30/12/99 0
The date in column 1 is calculated by displaying the number in column 2 in date format. Day Zero is thus 30/12/1999.
My assumption is that the release number is generated when work on the release starts.
Sorry if someone else has already come up with this explanation.

It was just coincidence that the two numbers produced dates that were feasible.

Bob, when I read your initial post about this I immediately saw the hilarious side of numbering an update by the number of days that had been worked on it. I appreciate that you are genuine in your thinking, and I do not attempt to cause offence.
