Sorry this is probably a really basic question

What do the numbers stand for

binary:0->8
binary:0->5

The values match in cheat engine as shown on the game screen but when I use ReadProcessMemory in an external application the binary:0->5 number is shown incorrectly

binary 0->5 is the same as value & 0x3f

I'm really sorry I still don't understand.

when I put 0x3f into the converter it gives me 63 in decimal.

When reading the value I'm not sure how 20 has ended up being displayed as 6029332

In previous attempts, these values have sometimes been shown as 0->4 or 0->7

binary 0->5 refers to bits 0..5 (inclusive) of the byte at the address of the memory record.

0x3f is just a mask representing those bits.

Using your image, this Lua code would work:
Code:
assert(readBytes('FD2A3641', 1) & 0x3f == 20)
