The Typhoon's paintjob is based on the German one in which the numbers are aircraft type+sequential number of the individual aircraft. And the 118 is a pretty clear reference to 118th TFW, so neither system is in use.

Going by this wiki's pictures, in ACI Mobius 5 Typhoon has 05^118 on the port side and 118^05 on the starboard side, Mobius 6 Typhoon has 06^118/118^06 and Mobius 7 and 8 Rafales have 07 and 08, respectively, under the cockpit and NP 118 in the tail.

Mobius 4 F-22 AFAICT only has the 118 in the tail like the Mobius 1 paintjob, so that doesn't say anything.

Now Doylistically the 04 probably refers to AC04 the game or the "Grim Reaper" nickname, but that's not what I'm asking here.
