About the Vidicon/Plumbicon debate, The very first Plumbicons were, correctly, described as "Lead Oxide Vidicons" and I am keen to resolve if real vidicons ( possibly 30mm size ) were used in the 2001s or the early descriptions actually refer to "lead Oxide Vidicons".
Now that you mention that, I'm interested to see if they meant actual vidicons or the "lead oxide vidicons" as you mentioned. However, I have a few links:
- Ads for IVC/EMI 2001-B/C (and other products offered by IVC) in Broadcasting magazine, March 24, 1969 (on pages 89-98):

- Cover page of Thomson brochure (from Broadcasting101.ws website):
