I think it is telling you that the source is a power cube.

Yep - PC indicates it's a Cognos Powercube.

It's a technology identifier, built in by the manufacturer of the cube technology. M14 appears to be a Microsoft Analysis Services 2014 identifier. I don't believe there's a guaranteed set way to calculate it - you need to examine the MUN of a cube member to see if it's there and how the manufacturer decided to populate it.

Here are some examples:

MSAS 2012 MUN:
[GO Sales Fact].[Product].[Product].[Product Line Code]->:[M12].[Product].[Products].[Camping Equipment]
Cognos PowerCube MUN:
[great_outdoors_sales_en].[Products].[Products].[Product line]->:[PC].[@MEMBER].[991]
TM1 MUN:
[Market Strategy].[Product Lines].[Product Lines]->:[TM].[Product Lines].[Product Lines].[@MEMBER].[Alpha]
