494 - 7738, 47907, 47993
092343 - 47881/001
092345 - RA 47968
092346 - 47958/078, 48014 (or 48018)
092348 - RA 47964
092354 - 48028 (or 48208)
092358 - 48115/235
096102 - 48153/273

It looks to me that when the engine number was written as "47881/001", the 47881 is the actual DB605 engine number and the 001 would be the assembly number (in this case, 001- the first DB605 assembled by Fiat).

47958/078
48115/235
48153/273
fits perfectly this increasing (chronological) sequence, 48153 being the 273rd DB605 by Fiat.

There are similar examples of such marking in the AS production.
00707733/819 AS0
00709343/1437 AS0
etc., where the number after the slash was also the assembly number of the rebuild AS, but it was not in sequence with the original engine number.

BTW, does anyone have any recorded AS engine numbers that do not start with 007xxxxx, or is it possible that for some reason only Genshagen produced engines were used for the production of AS engines (rebuilds)?
