First off, those numbers are "Commission Numbers", which differ from "Chassis
Numbers" (at least what I refer to chassis is the
frame). Actually the Mk1 was first produced in October 1962 and the last one
was built Dec. 1964.
The first Mk2 FC50001 was built in Dec. of 1964 and the last one FC88912 was
built in January of 1967.
Commission number FC22241 is a Mk1 built in late 1963. For more detailed
information, you can order a BMIHT production certificate
