Keep in mind that, at that point in production, body numbers were assigned
at Jensen, but Car numbers weren't assigned until the body was mated with
the engine, and then the car number was stamped and recorded to match the
already assigned engine number. And there's no way of telling without the
factory records the sequence or numbering of production, since the engine
numbers
were in series across several car lines, so consequently there were large
gaps in car number series.
