Same as numbering the Evoras in with the Pulsars, plenty of scope to have a new batch of fleetnumbers for them and fit the Pulsars in the gaps or carry on 32xx. All too easy isn’t it.

From speaking to people within the company its not just a matter of filling gaps in fleet number series as previously used numbers cannot be used due to auditing purposes. The bread vans should of been 10xx but as the Cities were to be flagship vehicles they allocated them the 10xx series so the Mellors just took the vacant 47xx instead. It's not all too easy to allocate fleet numbers just to make the series look pretty they have to fit in all the internal and external systems etc.
