Replace "model" with "id" on confirmation email

I want to replace the product model number with the id number on our confirmation emails. We are using 1.3.8. In searching the forum I found the file I need to manipulate and I thought it was as easy as swapping out "model" for "id" in the following code found in /orders.php

// build output for email notification
$this->products_ordered .= $this->products[$i]['qty'] . ' x ' . $this->products[$i]['name'] . ($this->products[$i]['model'] != '' ? ' (' . $this->products[$i]['model'] . ') ' : '') . ' = ' .
$currencies->display_price($this->products[$i]['final_price'], $this->products[$i]['tax'], $this->products[$i]['qty']) .
($this->products[$i]['onetime_charges'] !=0 ? "\n" . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGES_EMAIL . $currencies->display_price($this->products[$i]['onetime_charges'], $this->products[$i]['tax'], 1) : '') .
$this->products_ordered_attributes . "\n";
$this->products_ordered_html .=
'<tr>' . "\n" .
'<td class="product-details" align="right" valign="top" width="30">' . $this->products[$i]['qty'] . '&nbsp;x</td>' . "\n" .
'<td class="product-details" valign="top">' . nl2br($this->products[$i]['name']) . ($this->products[$i]['model'] != '' ? ' (' . nl2br($this->products[$i]['model']) . ') ' : '') . "\n" .
'<nobr><small><em> '. nl2br($this->products_ordered_attributes) .'</em></small></nobr></td>' . "\n" .
'<td class="product-details-num" valign="top" align="right">' .
$currencies->display_price($this->products[$i]['final_price'], $this->products[$i]['tax'], $this->products[$i]['qty']) .
($this->products[$i]['onetime_charges'] !=0 ?
'</td></tr>' . "\n" . '<tr><td class="product-details">' . nl2br(TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGES_EMAIL) . '</td>' . "\n" .
'<td>' . $currencies->display_price($this->products[$i]['onetime_charges'], $this->products[$i]['tax'], 1) : '') .
'</td></tr>' . "\n";

When I substituted model with id the confirmation email came through with the id number, but it also had a very long strand of numbers ( I think it is a dynamic number?)
Example:
1 x White Flower Bouquet Greeting Card
(467:b785de45eaf576fa2936017903ee1323) = $4.45
Bouquet Tag Message Get Well

I am clearly an amateur and know it is probably an easy fix, but can't figure it out how to just have the id number "467" appear without the long strand of numbers.

Any help or advice would be fantastic.
Thanks,

if you're using "$this->products[$i]['id']" for your product ID, a very fast way to drop the attribute-specific hash off the end of the number is to add "(int)" in front of it: "(int)$this->products[$i]['id']"

That worked. Thanks for the easy hint!
