These hex strings are beginnings of md5 checksums of these files:

   sh-4.3$ md5sum error.33ab1eb5.svg 
   33ab1eb5129ee5085793166d2f691dae  error.33ab1eb5.svg

I believe the point of appending them to the name is a kind of versioning: one'd want to be able to change these files and cause everyone to drop their cached version. This way when one changes a file, the filename changes too (most likely), so the cached old version will not be used.

You're correct.

It looks like they're using Django. You can configure it to add the md5 of static files to each name. [1]
