My impression is that the #N is to enumerate the generation of the kernel on the current machine. For example, #50 is a high number because they built a whole bunch of kernels on that machine before releasing it. If you build your own kernel, it'll go back to #0 because you're on a different machine, and then count up as you apply patches and make new kernels. I could be wrong though. :)
