Fw190 Ta152 Wing profile Question

Ad: This forum contains affiliate links to products on Amazon and eBay. More information in Terms and rules

According to the NACA references, the accepted wing profiles for the FW190 Ta152 is the NACA 23015.3 (root) and the NACA 23009 (tip).

I wonder if anyone can explain the '.3' suffix to the root profile - I understand this relates to the modified 5-digit designation, but the normal definition for the 5-digit variation comprises 2 digits and not just one and I cant find any explanation for this single digit.

I checked a standard 23015 profile against the Bremen drawings and there is obvious differences which may be influenced by this suffix.

All help would be garefully appreciated.
 
It means its the 3rd known modification of teh 23015 airfoil if I am not mistaken.
