The actual figures they quoted were as follows:
Mk I: FC1 - FC44656
Mk II: FC5001 - FC88904
Mk III: FD1 - FD15306
FD20000 - FD515967
FD75000 - FD92803
Mk IV: FH3 - FH64995
1500: FH75001 on
FM28001 on (USA)
So wherever they got their figures, FD16410 wasn't covered at all.
As Laura suggested, 'Curry & Mace' have been founts of knowledge. The
impression I got is that even BMIHT can't say exactly the last number used
in all the sequences.
I wonder how does this fits in then with being able to get total production
numbers for each run/year?
