Hi Jim,

Anders has already explained saAmfSGNumPrefInserviceSUs for 2N model.
amf_objects.xml also contains objects of NoRed model. For NoRed model, 
default value for this attribute is: "the number of the service units 
configured for the service group".

The attribute saAmfSGNumPrefAssignedSUs is applicable to only N-Way and 
N-Way active red models. If not configured its default value is: "the 
preferred number of in-service service units".

AMF spec does not state their values to be same. AMF will always keep 
saAmfSGNumPrefInserviceSUs SUs in instantiated state. These SUs will 
have assignments or no-assignments at all (spare SUs). If some SIs are 
un-assigned then AMF will pick these spare SUs for assigning unassigned 
SIs with number of assigned SUs will not be crossing 
saAmfSGNumPrefAssignedSUs.

All such attributes are discussed in chapter 3 for each red models.
Also SAI-IM-XMI-A.04.01.xml from SAF Forum can be referred.

Thanks
Praveen
