Thanks for the link to the PZL site. While all the experts are interested,
does anyone know how many SZD-38 gliders were manufactured? I have one of
the prototypes that was brought out to Australia in 1974, but have never
been able to find out for sure if it went into production or if they went
straight to the 20.5 metre Jantar 2B.

Although SZD had many sailplanes that where produced for purpose of
experiment or to accomplish/reach some target (which they never failed
not to); there never was a 2 place Jantar maybe someone was referring
to SZD-40 Halny which had a somewhat similar Jantar look, was built in
1972 and L/D of 43. There was only ONE built, so I don't know how
would it find its way to US. Here is a pic. -

And here are all the gliders built by SZD, before WWII and after:
