Numbers awarded? - citation(s) needed.

This edit changes the number awarded from 114,600 at 30 June 2006 to 116,668 at 22 June 2009.

How can an edit on 22 April 2009 know the number awarded at 22 June 2009?
"All three medals were replaced in 2002" & "the DFSM is now a closed award with only clasps to existing awards continuing to be issued." - Why is the number awarded increasing?
