You are correct. The trim/option breakout that came with the certificate from the Ford Performance Group (FPG) did not include the moonroof option (see below). Someone missed the boat on that one when this was all set-up. I am surprised that some of the 2004 MM owners did not bring this to the attention of FPG to get it corrected when they ordered their certificates. It should have been an easy "fix" using the 2MHHM VIN identifier.
I don't ever recall any numbers or even estimates of the number of moonroofs that were available with the 2004 MM. Your numbers above assume about 37.7% of the overall 2004 MMs got the moonroof. Seems like a "weird" random number to use. 1 out of 3 would have been 33.3%. Moreover, the 37.7% only applies to the total and the DTR. Silver and Blacks are different percentages in your numbers for some reason. Since we will probably never know unless someone asks .... it probably doesn't make too much difference anyway.
Here's how your numbers/estimates stacks up:
2004 DTR 369 of 980 = 37.7%
2004 SB 336 of 997 = 33.7%
2004 JPB 509 of 1237 = 41.1%
2004 Total 1214 of 3214 = 37.7%
Here is the 2004 color, trim & option breakdown from FPG .....

Almost all car companies contract out their sunroof / moonroof installs. For all intents and purposes they are installed "by the factory". Ford has always contracted with ASC American Sunroof Company.

Sunroof is a movable metal panel
Moonroof is a moveable glass panel

I never knew that. Thanks
My dtr that I bought brand new had a moon roof. I actually put a ASC moon roof on my 2003 Silver (as a dealer add-on) and I liked their moon roof alot better then Fords.
I once asked Steve B. about it and he said that due to budget and safety reasons they could not have the moon roof installed that they really wanted so they made due with the best one they could get ahold of. Gotta love Elena Ford!

My DBP (#228) has a moonroof. Don't know if it was a dealer install for 2003.

That was an aftermarket install. All Dark Blue Pearl MMs are 2003 and the moonroof option from the factory/dealer was not available until 2004. Those with factory/dealer moonroofs carry the "2MHHM" VIN. Your VIN starts with "2MEHM". I know of another Blue MM with a moonroof that was transplanted from Maryland to Myrtle Beach, SC and owned by JoanB (if she still has it).

I like having a light flint interior with my SB. SB with LF interior, moonroof, and heated seats. People called me crazy for having heated seats in Florida but I showed them this winter!

I swear somewhere on this site is a break down of moon roofs separate from the other options. Kind find it though so maybe I'm dreaming.
