71 GTX Options/Production Numbers

I've been studying the site's chart for specific production figures and all I can seem to find are numbers for RM's (Road Runners) and RP's (Sebring Plus). Are the GTX #'s there and I'm just not seeing them?
Specifically, I'm curious about how many 71 GTX's with U-code 440's had the Canopy 1/2 vinyl top, belt moldings, shift on column and 11" HD drum brakes(front & rear).
I've been tire-kicking on trading my 71 Charger S.E. for a B5 blue GTX with these options.
Can anyone lead me to the correct info??
Thanks!
Steve

There are no breakdowns for specific combinations, only individual options.
124 had canopy roof
all had belt moldings (std)
no breakdown for auto column vs console. Console number includes 4 spd.
1392 had drums all around
It's all here:

I was aware that code combination numbers were impossible to determine, I just lumped them together in my question. I'm still only seeing RM23 & RP23 numbers on that list, but I cross-referenced to the Gay Len book and it looks like it's just a typo on the chart. "RP23" should be "RS23". Belt moldings being standard on an RP makes sense, on a GTX, not so much, but that's Mopar for you, eh? Do a lot of people remove and not replace them during a resto? I could see it with them being unattractive and not being reproduced.
Thanks

M21, M25 & M31 are all on my fender tag, but not M26(WOM's). Is this typical? I don't have a b-cast sheet yet (Still waiting on previous owner to find it).

Bruce, that's not a touch of Yankee sarcasm is it??? LOL
I'll send you pics of the car soon. I'm supposed to take look #2 Friday.
Are you and/or Dave going to take a look at the "RP23" issue on the option code list? I also noticed that it repeats itself as you go down the page.
Thanks
Steve

....but seriously folks,
The owner is a friend of mine and the car has the right VIN (RS23U1), fender tag, partial b-cast sheet, door VIN, etc. The body numbers all look good. I'm going for another look tomorrow (Friday).
I know Bruce too, which is the reason for our sarcasm exchange.
We damn Yanks likes our sarcasm.
