Numbers appended to cart link URLs

Yesterday I tried to open some product pages from the links in my cart but got a 404 every time. Then I noticed a hyphen and a number appended to the URLs: -199. I tried to remove it and then the pages loaded OK.
I then tried to refresh the cart to see if it was some kind of temporary bug, and then the links in the cart worked OK again. There was still a number appended to them however, but this time it was -219. I have some different items in my cart now but they also have this -219 appended to the link URL (which works).
Anyone who knows what this is about?

I have (diffrent) numbers, but they don't cause a 404 error.
Some have caused a 404 error for me. I link on FB and my FB friends alerted me to them. So I am now mindful of these extra digits and remove them before linking.
I've noticed this too, in the last week or so. It's bitten me a few times, but removing the number from the URL always fixes it. So far (fingers crossed).
Well the number seems to change (at least it's changed once for me, so far), so it's only the current number that works, older/different numbers give a 404.
I've also noticed that the canonical link reference in the source code of the product pages has this number appended:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.daz3d.com/velodrome-track-219" />
