Dave,
Were the DE versions of a model, like the 1489 here, separately numbered? Or were they interspersed amongst the 1489's and identified as DE's by the prefix on the body plate?
EG
DE 1489 - 2001, - 2002, - 2003, etc, etc.
OR
1489 - 2001, 1489 - 2002, DE 1489 - 2003, 1489 - 2004, DE 1489 - 2005.......
Additionally, per the Kimes book(loosely used term), total production for all 110 models is 34,700 - see pic. This suggests that not all engines went into vehicles on the production line possibly being kept as replacements or failing in assembly or testing? As if anyone needed another factor to consider in trying to extrapolate numbers.
The phrase "Lies, damn lies and statistics" also comes to mind.
