If you compare the two sed scripts, the one with the -r option is way simpler (not that many escapes needed).
The \1 ("back reference") substitutes the 1. paranthesized regex part with itself.
In Scrutinizer's proposal there's no check the three to-be-replaced characters really are "000" as specified in post#1.
