What is the format of the "TS_CONTENTS" field in TS_FILE_OBJS and TS_FILE_OBJS_TEMP tables?

When using a File type field, the file added frequently a unique file name in the "TS_CONTENTS" field in the TS_FILE_OBJS_TEMP and TS_FILE_OBJS tables. The unique name seems to have the format "[original filename]_[Item Table ID]_[Item Record ID]_[Add File iteration]_[mysterious number #1]_[mysterious number #2].[original file extension]"

Question:

What are the values for "[mysterious number #1]" and "[mysterious number #2]" and how are they derived?

example:

TS_NAME:Default or user entered fname TS_CONTENTS:Unique fname TS_FILENAME:original fname
TIFF.tiff TIFF_1176_1_0_8940_5832.tiff TIFF.tiff
TIFF.tiff TIFF_1011_1376812_0_8940_5832.tiff TIFF.tiff

    If a filename already exists, the additional numbers are added.  Your assessment of the values is correct. [mysterious number #1]_[mysterious number #2] represent the process id information.  The process id information will allow you to determine that the files were uploaded around the same time.  Resetting IIS will of course generate new process ids.
