Just a suggestion, could it be that the first production car had serial number 1001?
Chevrolet serial numbering for Staghound starts with 1001 also. Marco

I checked my Lynx Manuals and there are no parts changes at all referenced as "before or after" any given serial number. Just the usual "when stock depleted use…". The introductory sections of both the Parts and Maintenance Books do mention that both the Serial Numbers and Hull Numbers start at " 1 (One) ".
Also took a quick look at my INFOEX book and it looks like Ford did not bother separating the Mk I and Mk II Carriers by different Serial Number Blocks. It is possible, therefore, that Ford simply kept adding from '1' as they transitioned through the various versions of the Lynx. Perhaps, historically, we just have not yet discovered all production contracts for the Lynx to get a complete picture of the numbers built. David

More info
Just a bit more info to throw out there. I have a Ford illustrated major assembly catalogue FMA-01 issued Dec 1944, about 2 1/2'' thick , It shows great pictures and includes all part numbers that have been used in the assembly of Engines, gearboxes, Transfer cases , axles , steering boxes of all military vehicles made in Canada during the war. You can cross reference most parts back through any vehicle made. The Lynx section for the 5 major components in the book clearly state from what serial number the assemblies are supplied for, like the axles for Mk 2 , the ratio changed and were to be fitted in vehicles from serial 3000# and onwards, it's a great book.

A friend of mine told me that 2 or 3 Lynx scout cars were brought in from Greece by a friend of his about 15 or 20 years ago to the port of Montreal , and he had a tough time getting them in the country. I think ,maybe, the one at the Ottawa war museum may be one of those

I know a lot of vehicles came from Portugal, but I looked a bit and it seems it was Greece http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/lynx_(wheeled).htm . The person I knew was Denis Payeur from St, Hubert, Quebec, and he had a lot of dealings with Bill Gregg. If the link works, it even has serial numbers
