Why would Honda assume uk and Europe would need the same quantity, and if they did not, there would have been a gap of missing unissued numbers.

More likely, the bikes were built in small batches according to market dealer demand using a common prefix number [20----. 21-----] with the numbers running sequentially for all markets.
The importers would have a record of the frame number when the bike arrived.

I read in 1992 that 250 RL and 131 RN [RM?] were sold in 190 and 1991.
