I think it is much more legible.  One tends to parse L and C as part
of the number.  But it is hard to say what to do when either may be
absent.

Maybe something like 561: and :2 and 561:2 ?  That's visually
formatted, pretty understandable (also has some relation to error
message formatting), and even more compact.
