Re: Some questions about damaged airframe and reparation centers...
Damaged fuselages were repaired/rebuilt and assigned new w/n. The National Air and Space Museum's FW 190 is an existing example. IIRC it stared life as and A-7 and at sometime was rebuilt into an A-8 and assigned a new w/n. I don't know if this was true for all manufacturers.
There are well documented examples of w/n outside known blocks. For example there are several consecutively numbered Me 262s that fall outside known blocks.
There are also duplicate blocks for different types. 1405xx for Fw190 and Ar234 and there are probably others.
