Well, now the waters are really muddy.
I think I do know the answers to two of the points that you raised.
1.
It seems that the number on the rod corresponds with a particular number from the bearing cap, rather than signifying that it came from cylinder 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Like they're a matching pair. (ie. 943M must have a no. 2 cap)
2.
The little T mark is also found on 18RG cam timing gears, I reckon it is just an outdated "Toyota" symbol. This symbol indicates the front of the con rod.
I have seen 61cm on these before, it may have been on my brother's set. I can't figure out what length it signified, though, the big end holes are 56mm ish.
I see that your's don't have the square protrusion half way down on the same side as the "T". I don't know if they only had these on earlier 18RG models or not (ie. before 88270 - EFI models).
From a closer inspection of the book it appears as though the curve out from the shaft to the pin hole is made differently between 18RG and 18R (C).
The 18R (C) ones have quite a small radius in their curve, and it starts closer to the hole.
The 18RG ones appear to have a larger radius, and it starts almost from the middle of the shaft.
I am closer to deciding that I definately have 18R single cam con rods for my spare set.
I need to hurry up with my paint job so that I can get onto ripping apart the whole 18RGEU I have waiting.
