Randy,

Given the relatively modest magnitude of the individual body numbers reported to date (with 12,660 being the highest) relative to the total body build, I am beginning to suspect that the two types (A-trunk and B-rumble) may have been numbered separately and not consecutively without regard to the type. In other words, perhaps two sets of numbers were used on the U.S.-built bodies which were additive in order to know the total number of bodies built.
