x2yz would be a terminal type device (e.g. 2260, 3270)
x3yz would be a disk type device (e.g. 2301, 2311, 2314, 3330, 3390)
x4yz would be a tape type device (e.g. 2400)
x5yz would be a card type device (e.g. 2540)
x7yz would be telecommunications type device (e.g. 2701, 2780, 3780)

In all cases x=2 would be "second generation," i.e. System 360; x=3 would
the "third generation," i.e. System 370.

x=1 would be first generation and is a different numbering scheme -- e.g.
1052 is a console, 1403 is a printer.

IIRC the S/360 CPUs were, e.g., 2040 for the 360/40 and the S/370 CPUs were,
e.g., 3155 for the 370/155

No; the 1052-7 was the console typewriter for various S/360 models. The 3210
and 3215 were console typewriters for low end S/370 models, eventually
replaced by special models of the 3270, e.g., 3278-2A, 3279-2C.
