I don't think it had anything to do with the magazine type, the last digits designated the frame and slide material. But, like the OP pointed out, there were exceptions.

FIRST TWO DIGITS
39: 9mm
59: 9mm
69: 9mm
10: 10mm
40: 40S&W
45: 45 ACP
35: .357 TSW

THIRD DIGIT
0: standard model
1: compact
2: standard with decocker
3: compact with decocker
4: standard with DAO
5: Compact w/ Double Action Only
6: nonstandard barrel length
7: nonstandard barrel length with decocker
8: nonstandard barrel length with DAO

FOURTH DIGIT
3: aluminum frame with SS slide
4: aluminum frame with carbon steel slide
5: carbon steel frame and slide
6: SS frame and slide
7: SS frame and carbon steel slide

Here's another list I made up to sort out what is what (and there are still exceptions). I made this list using the grip PN's in order to determine which grips are interchangeable. In some cases a round or straight backstrap can be substituted on a model it isn't usually found on.
