Jerry, all Model A pararafts came from one contract for a quantity of 20,000 awarded in 1944 shipments were being made in early 1945 and were in service approx. 4-5 months before the PK-1 was distributed.

I could tell you who made them and where they were all shipped and when but that would spoil the suspense!
