I have shared with you about 90% of my manfrotto and bogen model number cross reference knowledge. I do not know the model numbers you have mentioned. ;)

The 3021 and 3221 are bogen distribution numbers for the manfrotto 055 family. I think the x2xx indicates black color legs, with x0xx for bright. The 055 model is highly thought of here. I have the "Pro" model with carbon fiber three section legs. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
The 190/3001 series postpends a "B" to the 3001 to indicate black. Why bogen did not just use the manfrotto model numbers, I don't know. Maybe they think us Americans need a different set of model numbers than the rest of the world.

3001 = 190
---------- Post added 10-02-15 at 01:36 PM ----------
I have had an aluminum manfrotto 190/3001 with three sectioned legs for years and years and years. I have been very happy with its durability, ease of use, and strength.
I also have a carbon fiber and magnesium manfrotto 055 with three sectioned legs. It is bigger, stiffer, stronger, and lighter than my 190/3001. My 190/3001 now is mostly unused.
I am extraordinarily happy with my Manfrotto tripods. They are the amongst the best photographic buys I have made. They have lasted thru multiple systems and formats. Good tripods and heads lead to better photos. I also went thru the cr** tripod phase. That phase was just money down the drain.
My research, at the time, showed me that the manfrotto tripods were the best in terms of value, durability, and features. I would buy the same again in a heartbeat.
