Mine is in the form of 12 3456, with none of the numbers really making much sense in terms of a sequential "hull number." I guess that would have been pretty hard to keep up with numerous plants going.

I've been tracking the
boler American serial #'s looking for clues. Most are 4 digits starting with either a 3 or a 5 with one exception and that's a 3 digit starting with 3. I postulate for the
boler American the first digit signifies the plant and the remainder the sequential #. I can't find any starting with a 1, 2, or 4 and believe that plant 3 was either Tri-Fab in Tripoli or Eveland's in Backus, with plant 5 being the other.
Stretching this perhaps planned plants 1 2 and 4 became the
Eco in Aurora, NE the Minit/Perris in CA and something up in OR
Any chance yours might be the mold # and sequential #? My understanding is that each mold effectively produced one body per day. That would make for somewhere between 220 and 365 trailers per year.
