what do the numbers under the disc version 1.0 mean

I need to format my mac back to factory but only have the mac os x install disc. I found a set of the discs on ebay with identical information on the one disc that I have except the number under "version 1.0"; mine says Mac OS version 10.6.1 Disc version 1.0 2Z691-6517-A; the discs on ebay say Mac OS version 10.6.1 Disc version 1.0 2Z691-6674-A and applications install disc has 2Z691-6673-A. Will the discs that are on ebay work for my computer? Thanks

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

No. Shipped discs are for the machine they shipped with. Call AppleCare and get the appropriate missing disc for a nominal S&H charge. Don't buy the ebay ones, they're for another machine. See Computer-specific Mac OS X releases for details.
