AFAIK, serial numbers started from 1 with each new contract, for each component.
I have some late SCR-274-N components with low serial numbers that can't possibly
represent the numbers of such components that had been made at that point.

I even have a USAF contract A.R.C. R-15 with serial number 1...but made under
a late contract.

I'll bet that others here have more accurate info on this aspect.
