Where there's one, there's bound to be another.  The models from that timeframe weren't produced in large quantities, but there's surely another one or two out there yet.

I think you should definitely list it in your gallery as a model.  Then others will come out of the woodwork in the next 5-10 years, once people know about it.

Nope, no 42-123T there.
However, there is an entry for a 42-132T, cabinet no. 10594-A, designed by A.R. Woodman on November 26, 1941.

I wasn't clear on this part.  In what source did you find the entry for a cabinet 10594-A by A.R. Woodman?
