The numbers are correct.
I forgot to explain the background of the problem...Here:
It's the memory management of the SIM card's(and the phone's) memory.
It's a fixed length table.When you erase a contact, that entry gets erased
status(or something like this). The entry remains erased until you save a 
contact
there. So when you erase more contacts than add new, there'll be erased 
entries
between the used ones. The phone only tells you the number of used entries 
in
the questioned memory not the last used entry's index. F.ex: in my phone's 
memory there are 16 used entries out of 50,
but the last entry is the 28th ...

Here's the dump from gnokii(which dumbly reads all entries):
