32 char ASTRA Legacy barcode?

[mthomas46]

So i've been looking over some barcode tracking numbers and had a client say that they weren't being registered as fedex on theses 32 char barcodes for Fedex.

• 32971514560102447849175802862014 - standard overnight
• 32971510360102447848540980802018 - 2day
• 32971508360102447847941133172013 - 2day

after doing some looking i'm thinking this fits into the ASTRA (legacy Barcode)

• "In the ASTRA label, the 12 digit tracking number is located in positions 17 through 28 of the 32-character barcode"

so I began breaking them into chunks and kinda trying to dive into what could be the identifiers

• 3 29715 145 6010244 784917580286 2014
• 3 29715 103 6010244 784854098080 2018
• 3 29715 083 6010244 784794113317 2013

Not sure where to go from here, it's enough for me to make some regex but i'd like to understand whats going on here but so far I got (3 Zipcode ### 60##### trackingnumber ####)

• 3 38107 995 6000000 438041792380 3212

I took a crack at this, but I haven't figured out or found reference to all the fields or the check digit. Here's some documents I found that seeeeem to have some astra-related information in them, but I haven't deciphered it yet.

It also lists that these fields relate to the astra barcode: "650-#, 651-#, 652-#, 653-#, 654-#, 655-#, 656-#, 657-#, 658-#, 659-#, 660-#, 661-#, 662-#, 663-#, and 665-#"
