MG TD TF 1500 - MGTD/TF Wire Loom Covers

I am getting ready to publish an article on the few wires on the MG TD/TFs that had an extra bit of covering on them. The list below is what I currently have evidence for. I would love to hear from anyone who has an unrestored wiring harness that may have an exception to my list either with an additional item or they are certain their car does not have a particular cover. If you respond, please include your car number and a picture would be super helpful in proving provenance.
