Default Production figures and CSX-numbers

Can anybody help me out on this one :

I keep reading about 655 leaf-spring and 348 coil-spring Cobra's being built in the sixties, but I never manage to find out what ranges of CSX-numbers make up for these 655 and 348 cars ;

Perhaps somebody with a registry at hand is willing to help me ?
