VIN Ranges and Production Dates

[Bigglezworth]

Came across this information on an Audi serivce bulletin, and thought it would be of interest. Looked in the Audi Wiki FAQ area, but didn't see a link to this info, so uncertain if it has been previously posted. Anyway, for those that have any interest:

(USA) 2003 Model Year
WUA_ _ _4B_3N903941 - WUA_ _ _4B_3N905813
Production Date: May 13, 2003 through March 09, 2004

(CANADA) 2004 Model Year
WUA_ _ _4B_3N901231 - WUA_ _ _4B_3N901551
Production Date: February 26, 2004 through April 08, 2004

Does this mean there were 1872 RS6's sent to the United States?

905813 - 903941 = 1872

The only reason I ask is that I have heard a "story" that the original plans were to send ~850 RS6's to the US. Later, a shipment of ~1000 were redirected from another country to the US. I don't remember the exact number quoted, but the total was higher than the 850 commonly reported.

Can anyone confirm or deny this claim?
