The two numbers are a product code on later production examples, they indicate what the product is.
I don't have a full list as it is rather obvious what the product is when you are looking at it!!
These are some examples, I have more but not 11.
30 = A12 back
10 = 500CM and 501CM Bodies
36 = E12 back
15 = 205TCC body
71= 16/32 H Film Back

It is, a quick check on the big auction site shows a seller with that model quoting the serial, just a note to add: the model number prefix does not distinguish between black and chrome variants.
Hello and thanks everybody,
Found this thread on google search: "hasselblad camera three 3 letters serial number"
Wondering what info in the attached serial number plus its(500C) made in 1957 ?
A dot or small circle at the start of the serial number?
Thanks.
