Thanks for this. It would be nice to know how many of each model was made.

Wild guess, 5 to 10 thousand ? I "sort of" base this off the SCR-284 ( BC-654 ) production, which was something like 53,000.

I was guessing offhand roughly 1000 per production. My guess is still around 10,000-15,000 compared to how often they are found, compared to BC-654.
