First 206BIII was ship s/n 2212

In September of 1977, the s/n was somewhere between 2300 and 2400.

Skywrench is correct. Here is the note on the type certificate data sheet (TC) that records when the 206B had the Allison 250-C20B approved (Jetranger III is a marketing term. The correct model of the aircraft is 206B).

 

NOTE 21. Model 206B, Serial No. 2212 and subsequent Engine Allison Model 250-C20B with Bendix P/N DP-N2 Fuel Control Alternate Fuel Control CECO Mod. MC-40, Control P/N 104900A3-2, Governor P/N 6851468E Alternate Engine Allison Model 250-C20J with Bendix P/N DP-N2 and Bendix power turbine governor AL-AAI Fuel ASTM Type Jet B (JP-4) and ASTM Type Jet A or A-1 (JP-5). See Rotorcraft Flight Manual for Fuel Mixture and Fuel Temperature Limitations

 

And... here is the note on the TC that shows what serial number aircraft can be upgraded to the Jetranger III configuration...

 

NOTE 25. Model 206B helicopters, Serial Nos. 498 through 2211, may be converted to the configuration defined by Note 21 by modification as prescribed by Bell Helicopter Textron Service Instruction No. 206-112, dated March 17, 1978, or later revision. Alternate engine (Model 250-C20J) does apply to these aircraft.

KHP was written off, in '79 or '80 on Victoria Island in a whiteout if memory serves although some of the other Kenting types might be able to fine tune on that.

KHP still shows on the TC registry via an initial search for all Bell 206B's, but running the exact registration comes up with this info, so ... you are correct.
