The numbers weren’t serial numbers. Since the 54 factory cars had the shrouds hand drilled for the top and bottom pieces to be matched together after the top piece was chrome plated,both top and bottom pieces were stamped with matching numbers to be sure they mated with the hand drilled holes.
The 54 assembly line shrouds used 5 attaching screws while the 200 plus track pack shrouds used 6 screws.
The 66 I owned was a very early build,maybe one of the first 3 yet it had shroud number 18.
