Definitely there were lefty headstocks, which I don't think I need adding here.
If you find more note down the serial number and model if possible.

Ralf, that sounds "correct" (at least familiar) to me. No idea what we'd call #1 or those weirdos #14-#16, but good job.

Shark mouth?

Cake knife foot????

Fro, I think you're right that these weren't "named" by Guild, but I haven't seen the marketing material to back that up. As Grot said, maybe @hansmoust has something to add on what was defined publicly versus terminology used by us fans.
