[Healeys] Hyphen or no hyphen / 100-6 vs 3000 badging

[62bt7]

Since there is so much ink and interest in "hyphen or no hyphen",
change point and car number, I have a similar question which I
asked several years ago with no defining answer.

I own 1959/60, 3000, car# H-BN7-L/405, body# 3013BN7/803,
built 26-31 March 1959, (first month of production).

When the 3000 started production, the cars were still being badged
"100-6". ("100-6" grille badge, "100-6" horn button, no "3000" flash
on boot lid)

The question: What is the change point (car #) from 100-6 to 3000 badging 
???.

I have three original 3000 Mk.ll badges, all have hyphen.
