Re the apparent mystery of the lack of a BDN, it's just another of many Packard mysteries for inquiring minds.

Regarding the triangles at each end of the number, at the beginning (1935) of the "120" production, the numbers for seniors and juniors were apparently just comingled in sequence as the bodies were produced, but the "120" series bodies were distinguished by lack of the triangles. This practice continued thru 1936 and at least into the beginning of 1937, but by 1938 the junior bodies also had the < and > at the beginning and end.
