An interesting theory - but remember that these frames were built by Don Mainland for Schwinn in Wisconsin. It brings up the question whether he followed the company workweek - or not.

Then what's with the Rivendell avatar?
Jokes aside, they do pop up on eBay. Infrequently, but they do. I've seen one example go past the block that was most definitely refinished as a purple PDG Paramount. Let me know if you get your hands on one. Any additional S/N could be used to check approximate production numbers.
