But how to read that version.

I mean I read

Solaris 10 5/09 s10s_u7wos_08 SPARC

like

"Solaris 10 update 7 SPARC"

so how to read this -->>>>
Solaris 8 HW 5/03 s28s_hw2wos_06a SPARC

As far as I am aware the Solaris 8 releases were:

Solaris 8 6/00          Update 1  
Solaris 8 10/00        Update 2
Solaris 8 1/01          Update 3
Solaris 8 4/01          Update 4
Solaris 8 7/01          Update 5
Solaris 8 10/01        Update 6
Solaris 8 2/02          Update 7
Solaris 8 HW 12/02  Hardware 1
Solaris 8 HW 5/03    Hardware 2
Solaris 8 HW 7/03    Hardware 3
Solaris 8 2/04          Hardware 4

So I guess you could call it Solaris 8 Hardware 2
