Actually there were probably 2000 heavy barrel E models; maybe 500 International E models and yes maybe just 37 Prone E models made by Winchester during the E series production. Winchester made a lot more E models than were reported in Houze’s book. Steve Emmert, one of the most knowledgeable about these rifles has a database where he receives and collects data on the actual production counts. While incomplete the numbers clearly show there are more E’s than reported in the book.
