I have thought of this aswell.
But unfortunately, as far as I know the model numbers for Kobo e-readers are pretty much random. (Or if there is a concept behind them, we were never able to decipher it...)

There have been other 400 numbers, that have nothing to do with the Libra lineage. N416 was the very first Kobo e-reader ever from 2010. N437 was the Glo HD.

Likewise all the predecessors to the Libra 2 had very different model numbers. Libra H20 was 837, Aura H20 was 250.

Here is a list of model numbers. Maybe someone can make sense of them.
