I'm surprised Rick black didn't get to this one first!Rick listed The Standards at the link below.You will also find them listed at the back of "The Restorer" which I expect you will receive soon.
The lengthwise notch (if I understand correctly) did not exist originally in any of the pliers.The script varied slightly as did the pliers since they were provided by several suppliers.In addition, the same basic style of pliers were provided from the Model T production era well into the V8's.The biggest difference was the width of the widest part of the jaw end decreased with time.It is claimed (I have no first hand info on this) that this width was 1-1/8" during Model A production.
