The first 31 Ram I were assigned WD numbers out of sequence compared to the Shop number. Attached is an image from “Tanks Cruiser Ram I and Ram II, Instruction Book, May 1942” which shows the correct WD/Shop number relationship for the first 31 Ram I tanks.

The second image was captured from one of the CMHQ files. It is an extract from Dec 1943 planned data, so it includes too many Grizzlies and too few Sextons compared to the quantities that were actually produced.
