You answered your own question pretty much Andres.
It identifies the basic platform that the Bronco was delivered in from the factory. Wagon (full hard top and doors), Pickup (half-cab), Roadster (convertible with no doors), etc.
It also takes into consideration whether the standard or heavy duty springs and probably brakes were included. In other words, the one in the example above is a U-150, so that's a full hard top Bronco with standard suspension.
There are some inconsistencies though, as my own '71 is a U-150, but came with both the heavier springs and the larger brakes. So there is probably some variable in there that makes would have to be added to make it an official HD Package.

In the early years (until about '71) it contained the trim code (seating arrangement) and the body style code (roadster, halfcab or wagon). In later years it was used just for the trim code.
Early Trim Codes
1=front bench seat
6=left bucket seat only
7=left and right bucket seats
9=left and right bucket seats with rear seat
Early Body Codes
96=roadster
97=halfcab
98=wagon
The two codes were displayed as one number, for example 796 meant left and right bucket seats in a roadster.

Obviously the export models have some differences there too.
