According to the info in Tornado by Francis K. Mason ZA607 was coded '01' and ZA609 was coded '02' when issued to No.27 Squadron in May 1983.

27 sqn
hi Martin Many thanks, altho' his info not always accurate. ZA 603, for example, on same page - there was no A10 involved, in fact no other a/c at all. Have air-to-air photo of 01 in Sep 85 and have finally determined - from logbook comparisons - that it was, then, ZA553. Sadly as I'm new to PPrune I cannot post either of the photos or their URLs but one is the Devil's Tower pohoto and the other is a Flikr one after a/c diverted to Coltishall in '86.
The OP asked about the codes when 27 Sqn was formed in 1983. Here are the correct answers to your original question.
From April 1983, 01 was ZA607
From March 1983, 02 was ZA609
From April 1983, 01 was ZA607
From March 1983, 02 was ZA609
