Please remember that the cars sequential number (from Ford) did not determine what order Shelby converted the cars. They arrived from San Jose parked in a parking lot then randomly chosen, in any order to be moved into the Shelby process. Even the cars at Ford were not built in sequential order so 37 and 40 were more likely built days or weeks apart rather than one after another. Especially from what we understand from the guys that worked at and ran the plants, big block cars were normally separated (at least in the second half of the build) due to the difficulty and extra time they and AC took

Nothing specific they are just number that would have represented special orders place through the transportation services DSO.
And nope, no idea of the #2963 that follows the date and is just prior to the DSO.
And yes the basis for the Image would have been the IBM card that Jim Smart has often referred to and was part of the process described to me in conversations with some of the people that ran Ford plant during the 60's. Received a handful of calls from some of them after a set of articles I did were published back in the 80's
Sorry still not allot of help to your original request
