Anton, going back to your original post about the numbering.
It strikes me that the numbers are more likely to be shelf marks - locators- than acquisition numbering.
The discrepancy in numbering / saying that you mention would be because the cataloguing would have been done once his library was big enough to warrant such a system, ie, towards the end of his life.
