The reasoning behind putting the numbers underneath was perhaps for people ordering some of the new figures (if the codes are any use for people to use) or else they will be left off.
I like it. You might want to add the old Target figure number to the figs that have them. That would help people with the older figures and no clue as to which force they belong to.
The old target numbers will be obsolete as I myself have two sets of codes for first and second edition, thats why there will be a picture of each figure with the new unit name above (ie chasseurs), and figure type below it (ie chasseur sgt)
I see quite a few people have looked at this post and even a few of you have downloaded the files
any chance for more comment so I can make a start on doing 1 force fully
Unfortunately for you all I will problably be using some of my own painted figures as the pictures
