OK, I've amended this list on the wiki:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX#Variants
… to cover what I consider to be clearly distinguishable switches from yab8433408's photos, as follows:
Picture 1 (2.jpg)
0. [wiki]Cherry MX Black[/wiki]
1. [wiki]Cherry MX Red[/wiki]
2. [wiki]Cherry MX Blue[/wiki]
3.
Cherry MX Blue variant?
4.
Cherry MX Blue variant?
5.
Cherry MX Blue variant?
6. [wiki]Cherry MX Brown[/wiki]
7.
Cherry MX Brown variant?
8. [wiki]Cherry MX Green[/wiki]
9. [wiki]Cherry MX Clear[/wiki]
A. It's grey
B. It's grey
Picture 2 (3.jpg)
0. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX Translucent"
1. [wiki]Cherry MX Lock[/wiki]
2. [wiki]Cherry MX White[/wiki]
(vintage variant)
3. [wiki]Cherry MX White[/wiki]
(100% white variant)
4. Cherry MX Orange (unknown keycap mount)
5. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX Yellow (this appears to be a real yellow switch, not a fake)
6. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX Pale Grey"
7. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX Click Grey"
8. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX-M8 Adapter" (supports shorter Cherry M8 keycap stems)
9. Unknown; treating as a colour variant of Cherry MX-M8 Adapter until we can confirm spring tension (both are linear)
A. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX Alps Click" (Z mount slider for Alps keycaps)
B. Unknown; listing as "Cherry MX Alps Linear" (Z mount slider for Alps keycaps)
This way, all the people who don't see this topic at least can see from the wiki that the switches did exist.
Anyone who has sufficiently old catalogues is welcome to fill in product codes — I presume they're all MX1A-xxxx, which means that there are Cherry MX switches that are not Cherry MX compatible. I will at some point throw up some stub pages with links back to yab8433408's photos just so that we have
something. When you throw in the complete confusion that is the non-MX switches, Cherry is almost as annoying as Alps.
