In the NSN system, the second group, as 00 or 01, in
the example below, is the country code, more technically
the National Codification Bureau Code.

See:

http://www.tpub.com/content/religion/14230/css/14230_32.htm

There is a list of some of the NCB codes on this site, but I
don't think it is complete.

Aha, here is a better list.

DoD 4100.39-M (FLIS Procedures Manual), volume 10, chapter 4, table 9 for a
complete listing of NCB codes.

see:  http://www.dlis.dla.mil/PDFs/Procedures/vol10.pdf

page 118 and 119 of the PDF.
