3.9 million is within the range for a radial dial. As I mentioned in the "essay" thread, I , as well as others, do not agree with the 4.2 million serial number range given for the initial appearance of radial dials from the 1970s.

4.4m on I thought, I am sure I will be corrected if this isn't the case.

Many countries use red and blue in their flags. France comes to mind. I think the association is unwarranted, and reading too much into current events. Tragic as they are… On another note, I do hope Norway joins NATO!
