You are referring to the fill code and not the barcode. The letter "A" is the code of the manufacturing plant. The next 5 digits are the most important. The first 2 are the last two digits of the year the container was filled. Both of your examples were filled in 2013. The next 3 digits are the day of the year. 108 is April 18th. 049 is February 18th.
