Ray:
Having dug around a bit in Doug Nye's History of the GP Car, he records that there were twelve 49s of various sorts:
R1 Original car, debut Dutch GP 1967. Rebuilt as 49T 1968.
R2 As R1. Returned to 49 spec.and loaned to Rob Walker 1968 until R7 was ready.
R3 New car, built up overnight before British GP 1967 after suspension failure on Hill's R2. Later sold to John Love.
R4 New for South Africa 1968. Clark won first time out.
R5 The first 49B - debut Race of Champions 1968.
R6 The second 49B - first driven by Oliver, Belgium 1968. Later sold to Bonnier.
R7 New for Rob Walker, British GP 1968 - Siffert won first time out.
R8 Built as a 49T for Hill 1969. Converted to 49B.
R9 Built new for Rindt 1969. Written off Barcelona in Rindt's crash.
R10 New for Hill, Monaco 1969.
R11 Driven by Andretti, South Africa 1969 then sold to Pete Lovely.
R12 Display car for Ford. Never raced. (???)
So, not quite 12, but nearly!
However, I was wrong about the 72 - there were only nine of those!
Oh, and browsing further - there were 12 McLaren M23s as well.
BT11 - ten built (5 F1, 5 Tasman), plus the two original BT7s
BT23 - F2 car - brain fade Ray?
According to David Hodges, Brabham built 110 of the various BT21 variants, but again these aren't F1 cars.
