FW190A-5 airframe stamps/serial numbers

Please can anyone tell me what these numbers mean when stamped on the underside of the airframe?
?-3116 5-WAREN-8? ..more numbers below.
Thanks for looking.
Don
The reason I have put A-5, is because Horst Adameit's aircraft that crashed on the 7th/8th of August 1944 was one, whether it was upgraded or not.

?-3116 is a material code for aluminum and usually an ink or something.
If the remainder is stamped similar to the 3116, it is probably related to the material specifications, or maybe the manufacturer I have seen as well.

Attached is an image inside a wing opening of the NASM He219, showing the 3116 and WAR on the aluminum.
