There were a couple of papers on the subject, telling the sequence of development of each color of phosphor individually, but incomplete information on which ones were used together, and no specific information on years or tube numbers. The combos we do know are the original yellow-plus-filter for red, then the15GP22 phosphors, which correspond to the NTSC spec, then the all-sulfide tubes, and then the rare earth tubes, first with vanadate red and then europium oxysulfide red. But there are a string of reds listed between the 15GP22 and the all sulfide tube, and no hint of how long each of those were used, or if they were mainly lab developments.
