I don’t know if this info is any use to you.
Blackburn had a factory at Dumbarton on the opposite side of the castle to the river which produced Sunderlands during the war. Sorry I can’t help with quantity or versions. At that time I suppose the majority would have been MkIIIs

Can anyone please advise a website with details of production of Short Sunderlands and if possible losses.
Many thanks
It depends how much detail you want but if it is anything more than basics of which factories built how many of each model then I suspect there aren’t any websites with the info you want.
Well, we should add “yet” – I’ve thought about doing a website myself to list all the Sunderlands but am too busy with other projects right now. But if you’re going to set one up do let me know. 🙂
There are a number of books on the Sunderland. For lists of aircraft and their fates, the best would be Chaz Bowyers “The Short Sunderland” published by Aston in 1989 ISBN 0-9446627-34-7. My favourite place on the web for secondhand books is www.abebooks.co.uk where at the moment, there are five available from UK bookshops, three in the USA and one in Canada.
