>From the All American Wonder, Vol II, it appears that 1942 MBs had the
following numbers.

109922 dod-01 Jan 42 Through 198413 dod-24 Dec 42 (#200888 was 07
Jan 43 so I guess those between #198413 and #200888 were also delivered
with the 24 Dec 42 lot (numbers 198413 through 200887 were, I assume
delivered/accepted by the army the same day. The next lot began with
#200888 on the next acceptance date of 07 Jan 43.

GPWs did not begin until 1942 so all numbers up to 91320 are 1942
models. The first apparent 1943 delivery was on 6 Jan and began with
number 91321.

Take this all with a grain of salt. I don't know that the numbers are
that particularly accurate. However, on my '43 GPW, my serial number
was very close to another with original dataplates/serial numbers and
they were in adjacent lots so the dates could be close.
