Holy smokes! I didn't realize there was a type of 41 model you had only one of...

My answer was not on quantity but on which model/type the BN was available on, btw I never saw these: 41C-FN-TK-BN / 41C-HN-BN / 41CX-FN-BN.
I saw several listings on eBay advertising 41CX-FN-BN but after verification with the sellers there were all 41CV-FN-BN.

Not to my knowledge.

If I remember correctly, blanknut packages had the following:

• special box with no marking on it (thick box version HERE)
• HP-41C/CV/CX blanknut version
• installed, top black sticker with appropriate color (silver or gold)
• not installed, rear label
• not installed, front label
• USER/PRGM detachable plastic cap (do not remember if it was installed or not at factory)
• manuals (I think so, but I am not sure anymore)
• standard accessories (I think so, but I am not sure anymore)
