Ed,
Good question. I really don't know, but that number doesn't sound completely out of line given what I understand about the period.
I have some production documentation for those years, but I don't recall the 1187 set being included. Those sets were likely assembled from existing inventory, although it was the first place you could obtain the 9230 Monon Boxcar. I'll do some digging and get back to you if I have any luck.

If I recall, the 1973 SS set was a limited run of around 1300 sets.
It makes sense less sets would have been produced in 1971.
