Dean, I think we are making a mountain out of a molehill. Just because the serials are not in the PGI & S book does not mean that they do not exist. The PGI & S book was created from Charlie Price's data base which was created from the copied book pages by hired computer input people. Charlie can do a better job than I explaining the process. The reading, typing, entering process was fraught with error--but not because the original books were wrong. Check page 260 of the referenced book. Three 8 gauges are listed in the 4th column, starting with serial 74620. There are actually four 8 in this set, starting with 74619. How do I know? I have 74622 and a copy of the original order from E. T. Allen in California. Parker Bros. pretty much did everything right, including keeping factory records.
