I now have these in total. Production ended late 1941, so these were all 1942 MODELS but built in Fall 1941:
2842001130 ENGINE # MR3,765,943 BODY SERIAL # 155! 2842001139 ENGINE # MR3,766,036 BODY SERIAL # 146 2842001192 ENGINE # WR3,765,985 2842001330 ENGINE # WR3,766,091 2842001378 2842001395 2842001422 2842001427 2842001497 Note chassis 1139 has body 155, whereas the chassis about 30 minutes later down the line had body 146! I now need to check whether 1192 and 1330 actually had 'MR' engine ' prefixes and not 'WR'..I do wonder if MR was a mis-stamp for 'WR' which was appropriate and used on the heavier chassis. I have no other evidence of any 'MR'-prefixed engines.

I looked at that F8 with the winged mercury on the hood the other day and it dawned on me what it is. That's your gas detection paint and the guy that applied it got creative. Here's a better pic.
