Urnukh (pp. 186-89) does not have detailed production information (and only he has done research, as distinct from engaging in guessing). He shows the range in numbers as 150-40,000 (though -- big surprise -- Choibalsan's was 00001) for type 1 and 40200-62000 for type 2.
Straddling the change-over, I have 39142 (documented) and 52390 (undocumented, the lowest type 2 documented award that lives with me is 54271). That is a pretty big gap. But let me fetch them home and check the dates on the documents, though that isn't always iron-clad.
