Re: Heavy Flak - 88 or 105 mm heavy guns
There is an excellent book on the subject entitled "Flak" by H.A. Koch, printed in 1965 in German.
And, yes, the 18, 36, 37, etc. numbers after the calibre appear to indicate the year of introduction of that particular model. In the above book, page 41, it states: "The 8,8 cm-Flak 18 in its improved form reached the forces as 8,8 cm-Flak 36 (1937 with further technical improvements as 8,8 cm-Flak 37) and became the standard weapon of the heavy batteries."
