First question, Chris, do these R-Types have a Body Number or a Car Number stamped on the tunnel? All the cars I have inspected from the late 1920s (admittedly not that many) have had the Car Number stamped here (if any number at all). If the latter is the case, then maybe your second number is really a body number. I know your car is one of the 'interim' cars with revised door, etc, so maybe these carried a body number starting with one and finishing at ??? whatever; there weren't that many built, were there?
