Information Source: 1995 PBP booklet:

Page 35 - Classement International des Pays Randonneur Mondiaux
Page 34 - Classement International Par Pays
PBP finishers info. - time results list pages 27-33, 38-43

Distance information from Holland, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and New Zealand was not included on the chart on 35, though some distance is recorded on the club listings on page 34. I have inferred the brevet distributions for Switzerland, Luxembourg, and New Zealand because non PBP distances were in units of 1500, the super rando series distance.

There is a discrepancy about the number of finishers (homologues) in 1995. The number of finishers listed on pages 27-33, 38-43 is 2376. However, when we add the 2319 PBP finishers in the table at the bottom of page 35, to the 64 PBPs from the five countries not in the table we get the 2383 PBP finishers - 7 finishers too many.
