Production numbers

Having rechecked my sources, I found, that the production numbers Matti gives for the He 219 are perfectly consistent with those given in "Flugzeug Profile Heinkel He 219" on page 12. In addition there are 6 planes rebuilt from scrapped he 219's with no date. These might be the 6 planes, Remp states for second quarter 1945.
What makes me puzzled is the large discrepancy between the Remp-book and "Flugzeug Profile" by Dressel/Griehl for year 1943, where Remp gives a total of 50 planes versus only 11 planes in Flugzeug Profile or Matti's list, and also for 1944, where the difference is similar, but the other way round. How did this discrepancy arise? Interesting is, that despite the different numbers given, both sources get exactly the same total production of 274 planes.
Flugzeug Profile gives the same Werknummern-list as Remp, but of course I agree with George that this can be faulty.
Kind regards
Robert
