The redo THREAD number (not instance number) shows which "stream" of redologs the instance was using when writing to this logfile. This doesn't even have to match the instance number.

The last number in your filename (the %r) is resetlogs SCN, if you open with resetlogs at SCN X, then all logfiles generated for this database will have resetlogs SCN X in them (as do datafile headers). With a brand new database created from scratch (using create database) you should have %r 0.

Tanel.
