These wouldn't happen to be NFS filesystems would they? Or written too by rcp or something like that. The number is the file owner's uid and if that uid is not in the system passwd file, it will just show the number. I have typically seen this when uid and usernames do not match up across several platforms and there is a lot of file movement going on.
