Hello David! Please find below a picture of one of the carriers dataplates with higher resolution:

By the way, the three T16-E2 I could inspect there had a date of delivery of 3-45, of the last ones built. Access to the other carriers there was certainly difficult.

Regards from Argentina

That high res image helped a lot. Also the serial number being up in the 13000 range which would indicate more T-16s were produced than I'd thought.

Yes David. If we consider that all the last T16 were of the E2 series, then a few hundred must have been built. Up to the last T16 recorded, 13893.

It would be interesting to find out at which ser. no. they switched over to the E2 designation.
