Hmmm... that book may be "official", but I would suggest it has a typo. The numbers on the the VLV webpage are in complete agreement with the factory service manual for the early 140 series vehicles - Part 0(03) Specifications, published 3/69, which should be at least as official as Volvo 1927-1985. :)

Here are the numbers from the service manual:

Type /Model /From /Chassis No

142 / M / May 1967 / 1-1499
142 / P / Aug 1967 / 1500-52899
142 / S / Aug 1968 / 52900-

The beginning chassis numbers for the '68 (P) and '69 (S) models would indicate exactly 51400 cars (P) cars produced.

51400... 5140... that can't be coincidence. IMO someone simply dropped a zero when they typed the entry for your history book.
