Maybe the original bureau had 39 members?
From the script:
NEWCOMB (Cont'd)
We were just a small group when
we started, but we all took
special oaths on the same day.
August the second, nineteen-
forty-seven. I was about your
age.
I'd say 39 would definitely fit the parameters of a "small group."
In Specimen S, I had Trask's father come up with the name off the top of his head when meeting the Kents, just because it must have seemed professional and mysterious.
I was going to suggest that it might have been chosen (for the show) because of Dean's professional football number, but that was 36, not 39, and in college it was 11.
