I have sorted that data several ways.  The size of the hooks does not seem
to follow any pattern.  The board numbers seem to be roughly in the same
sequence as the serial numbers.  This is comparable to the ones I have.

I notice that all the ones with a serial number starting with "C" were
made in Germany.  All those starting with "B" were made in the UK.
All the ones I have were made in the US and have a serial number beginning
with "P".

Commodore's main assembly plant in the US was in Philadelphia.  I think
the German plant was in Cologne.  Where was the UK plant?

That odd plug may be a repair.  The serial number suggests it should be a
7 pin plug.
