Lots of confusion on revision numbers:

In computer programs I was referring to the revision numbers
used in program versions not the binary/hex of internal
instruction storage.

JT gave an answer on the why, and looking at his recent posts uses FTIII.

If we follow a logical sequence it should be FT 1.3 that is the third edition
of the first version of full thrust, but I don't think its a sensible choice.

So in conclusion:

FT1/FTI   for Full Thrust first edition
FT2/FTII  for Full Thrust second edition
FT3/FTIII for Full Thrust third edition (your choice, some prefer the
former as ftiii is a little like a monty python film war cry 'niii' [sic])
FT-FB     for the fleet book.
