Need Help To ID 2 Browning Citori Shotguns 12ga & 28ga

[OldYooper]

See the 2 pictures.
I know the 12ga is a 1979. I do not know what the 5B3 means.

I know the 28ga is a 1980. I do not know what the 5E3 Means.

Thank Your Help. OldYooper.

My Browning reference is older and doesn't list them that way. My thinking is the B & the E are for the gauge and the ending 3 or the 5 stands for the grade.

Whole pictures and the area in front of the trigger guard often say what you have on Clitoris. I have 7 of them and which model is as important as the grade! Barrel Length and Stick/Fore End style, quality of wood all play into equation.
