I think my 2/10 was sold as an XL - not 100% sure though.
Might be nice to get first hand info on this... We could ping the owner of Sun.

What's the source of this number, 2700? Has it been verified?

I haven't found an AAPL annual report for 1989 that might have an official number.
But as far as contemporary sources go, the Herald Journal apparently published an article in 1989, referred to here:

800 cubic yards / 2700 Lisas is 8 cubic feet (about 0.23 cubic metres) per Lisa, which seems reasonable.
IIRC, in 1989/1990, the actual number disposed of was ambiguous/mysterious/secret.

I ordered a Lisa 2/10 / XL in Canada just as they were all being collected and returned to USA. When it arrived I was told that it was one of the last leaving and was lucky they could intercept it.
IIRC, it has an AppleNet sticker, but it isn't easily accessible to confirm that.
I think that there wasn't any difference between a Lisa 2/10 and a Macintosh XL other than the name, so there was nothing to convert. Maybe MacWorks was bundled with the XL, but that's a separate box.

I don't have edit permissions to the spreadsheet, so here's a bottom plate I came across today on the FB group:
Serial: B08B831610036
Applenet: 00103784
