Anyway, much of what Ihave posted does not correct mistakes of yours, because in those areas you were not mistaken.
That being said, I think your original problem might have been in that you were ignoring the fact that diamonds sold were only 3,253,000 carats which was 146,000 less than diamonds recovered. So there was an increase in inventory you did not account for.
Also in your analysis, I think you forgot to add in the ~6MM we got for the fines, when you compared theory to actual - but I may be truly confused on that - too tired to suss it out.

Your problem is that you were saying that 19% of the ORE was -1.25mm, when it was 19% of the DIAMONDS that were -1.25mm.
You are doing apples v. oranges. Assume that all of the ore was as big as oranges (perhaps it was,) your 19% of fine diamonds is irrelevant to the ore tonnage.
If you apply your 19% to the diamonds produced, 693,700 carats, as I did, you will be OK.
