Airbus Version Codes

AFAIK, the last two numbers of the airbus model designations specifies the engine maker and version for that aircraft.
For exemple; on the A320-231, the 3 means the engine is from IAE, the 1 means it is fitted with the engine version IAEV2500-A1.
The A320-232 is also powered by an IAE engine, but the last digit, in these case the 2, indicates that this plane is fitted with the IAEV2527-A5
version.
Each engine manufacturer has one number for all airbus models;

0 = General Electric
1 = CFM International
2 = Pratt and Whitney
3 = IAE (International Aero Engines)
4 = Rolls Royce
6 = Alliance (for the A380)
