Cliff, taking a closer look at the serial numbers, the 1947 model list has a total of five models DD4-35, DD4-60, DD4-78, DD4-90 and DD4-200, all starting at serial 90,057,429. Like you said, these combined must mean low production runs for each separate type.
One can see the -35, -60 etc. stands for the wheelbase: 135, 160, 178, 190 and 200 inches respectively. Basically the same truck - 2-ton DD4 - built in 5 different wheelbase forms?
