Chris, one possibility that I considered while writing the dossier on Rob's car, is that FJ-1 was the original MRD, the car we retrospectively call the BT1, FJ-2 was the first of the 1962 cars, the car we retrospectively call BT2 FJ-1-62, and FJ-3 was the next car, Frank's BT2. When the production cars started to be built and were given proper chassis plates, they continued this numbering system and were FJ-4-62, FJ-5-62 and so on. That would explain the missing number.
On balance, I decided this was too revisionist and had too little evidence to support it. However, it may mean you are looking for a car that never existed.
