I recall, from way back, that originally those two digits in AS/400 or IBM iSeries serial numbers were based on the two digit country code, as used in direct long distance international dialing, e.g. 011-xx-....    for the country where the machine was manufactured ...    
No idea if that is still strictly true ...

I agree, but is was all I could find.
I recall some IBM i serial numbers starting with: 06, 21 and 65.

i seem to recall 65 was Ireland and 06 was in Asia and I have a feeling
that 21 was either austin or NY

Not only is "10" wrong there are several missing ones and a couple others
that are wrong as well.  I'd say an unreliable source.

"10" looks to be incorrect as I thought it was Rochester,MN

Where can I find a table of IBM Country of Origin Codes?  For example if
my
serial number is 7512345 then where can I find out what country is 75?
And, yes, 75 is the country I'm looking for in this example.  The 12345
is
redacted info.
