Rich,

I don't think you can accurately date by Census numbers. These numbers are for all "B" vehicles, plant and trailers, and I believe that the numbers may well have been allocated when the purchase order was made, which could have been months if not longer, before the actual delivery.

Just checked Chris Orchard's book and contract was Demanded in June 1938.
