I know we compiled something similar here years ago- Isn't this in fact that list? I recognise it. But it might have surfaced on AH too... Fun to see that my SDS-7 is among the very last then! :D The SDS-III looks weird indeed below. Should read 0098-0160 (I have that 0098). My recent additions are within the mentioned spans BTW. /j.
