One is internationally marked (CNCU), and in this case the boxed figure is a self-checking number (the calculation takes into account the four letters and the six digits of the number); the resulting figure (8) would then be erroneous according to the site shipping-data.com, which gives 7. The other two are in the older SNCF marking; the boxed figure is the number of the SNCF managing region: 5 for the Sud-Est. The P indicates that the container belongs to a private owner.
According to the table opposite, the registration of the CNCU does not correspond to the C13 type, but to the C15. As for those bearing a SNCF number, I have not found their registration anywhere in the Voies Ferrées article.
It would have been interesting to have functional handling rings, but here, I may be asking a little too much…
