Was there not the T642 between the T640 and the T644E?

If my memory serves me correctly Andrew Gilbert Scott was favourite for the 81 festival in a T640 but changed to the new Reynard at the last minute.
Julian Bailey won the 1982 Festival in a T640, but only after being attacked by Maurizio Gugelmin (who ended upside down on top of the tyre wall). I have a video of it and Baileys suspension seems to bend as Gugelmin went over the top. It didn't seem to matter as Bailey carried on regardless!
There was a T642.
Gerrit van Kouwen won the 1984 Festival in a T644E. (I think the 'E' stood for European version)
The T640, T642 & T644E all look pretty much the same externally.
