Likewise, the last two cars with '57' suffixes were actually T45s

Hm, the Nye lists in this respect are sort of contradicting. As T41 is mentioned the Mark 1 F2-Climax Car, with 1956 as year of built only.
The Mark II production F2-Climax is given as built in 1957.
Looking at your engine criterion, The FWB engine went into the 1956 T41s as well as into the following 1957 chassis: 1,2, 4,5, 15 and even 17 and 18 produced well into 1957. So these are all T41s? All other 1957 chassis are FPF engines. (There is mention of one FW
E engine, (f2-19-57). What is that?
This would mean for instance that because the Reventlow car (as shown in the T43 thread as unidentified) is listed as F2-15-57 with an FWE engine, it would actually be a T41?.
But thanks for the update on the present whereabouts. It seems that there are quite a few left.
