I would be careful of this list. I think there were two lists, because my S/N is on there as an M58, while my bike is an M53.
Not a surprise, as noted in Bob's paragraphs there is a good probability of some duplicate serial numbers and other errors, as the lists are not complete and for a time frames were built in two locations in San Dieago County.
Remember they were not paid to make notes, they were paid to make frames.
