Short answer...yes, but not sure of total production numbers. For 1944 MoCo produced the Model 44-UL 74 cu in twin, high compression solo and the Model 44-U 74 cu in twin, medium compression.

Here ya go! I just got home from the auction. We were told it was one of 497 civilian models, but I have no idea if that is true.
