Illumina Fastq Header Format

One of my fastq files has header like this: @HS2000-1005_88:6:2104:15214:172380 1:N:0:GATCAG

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTQ_format), there's one field missing in this header. Is "flowcell id" missing?

short answer: yes

long answer: looks like the fastq file has been edited removing the first elements describing instrument information.
