Hi Stig,
Zavod (factory) 84 produced the Li-2s, or the 'PS-84's.

Factory details: fomer GVF repair plant since 1932, became zavod 84 in 1935;
accommodated KBs of Levkov and Bolkhovitinov; PS-84 (later
redesignated Li-2) aircraft produced; evacuated 10/41 Tashkent
onto site comprising Aeroflot repair plant No. 34, a printing
shop and a sawmill 'Chirchikstroi'

I did not really research Li-2 history, but all wartime Li-2s I went through started with 184........, such as 18414910 - 18416004, etc. 18415209 would just fit between them - and many other examples.

Cheers,
Gabor
