Yes, but with some missing numbers at the ends of model years

FH75001 to FH134637 (again with missing numbers at the ends of model
years)

FM1 U to FM111120 U (where did they get this 28001! That was the start
of the 74 model. the 1500 was also produced as far back as Aug 72)

I'd question the source of the person who wrote that!

That is a very good question. It has been noted by several sources that
if you add all the production numbers that are being passed around, it
doesn't add up to the total claimed by all sources.
