The book of Matthias Bartz (GermanDino) will answer all your questions and a lot of more things in a few months.
If you go to www.dinoregister.com and select Dino Production Highlights, you can find the answer to some of your questions. For example, it describes the last of the known 206GT as S/N 00410, being produced in April of 1969. It also confuses things a bit by saying that the first 246GT (type L) known was S/N 00400, produced in March 1969. The last type L is listed as S/N 01116, produced in October 1970, and the first type M as 01118 produced during the same month. The last type M is described as S/N 02130, and the first type E as S/N 02132 produced in 1970. No month is specified. Unfortunately, it does not distinguish between early, middle and late E series cars, but it does cover some other variations such as RHD and GTS versions. It describes the last Dino 246 as S/N 08515, produced in July 1974. This information may not be completely accurate, and it is certainly not sufficiently detailed, but it is a starting point. Until a more complete Dino production history becomes available, the Dinoregister is probably the best place to look.
