correct usage is ' twice the number' ,'twice the value'.
Twice the numbers is wrong. Also twice as many as is wrong usage. It should be two times as many as.

Even I m not 100% sure but 'twice that' is certainly wrong in B.
Why is "twice that number" incorrect ? Does it not refer to 469,000 ?
twice that number is not idiomatic. Moreover 'total of 469,000 cars and trucks' is mentioned. Twice that number of truck is what number? The author has not mentioned number of truck; its the total number of truck and cars.

You are comparing a number to a number, so seems ok to me. "the number of X is twice that of Y" why is it unidiomatic ?
Also, by using "themselves" in C,D,E isnt it giving it a second meaning that the trucks took themselves off the assembly line ? _________________

The correct idiom is "as many as" D and E out
A) the numbers of trucks alone WRONG :- twice of what number ?? we need a digit or a reference to a digit.
B) that number of trucks alone CORRECT:- twice that number of truck alone ; twice of 4696000.
C) the number of trucks by themselves WRONG:- "alone" , "by themselves" is redundant. Both means the same thing.
D) as many trucks themselves WRONG IDIOM
E) as many trucks by themselves WRONG IDIOM
