I'm a bit late to the party, but this is really great!!!
There's a similar - though more obsessive - treatment of minute variations in Lions, and Dolphins at the old Seikomatic Archive.
For a whole other category of early caseback inscriptions:
The early Seiko Gyro Marvel (1957) had the inscription around the edge in black. This was fragile, so it's very rare to see it well preserved (here's mine):
The first Seikomatics (1961) had the same idea. My example isn't preserved, but here's an NOS beauty off the Bay:

For a couple more minor variations from the 60's, how about the "plain Seiko" Chronometers?
Seikomatic Chronometer - Lion medalion (non GS). 6246 9000
Seiko Hi Beat Chronometer - gold medalion (non KS). 5626 7091
And the strangely plain, square Seikomatic R, 8305-5000 (not even Seiko marked on that one!)
I'm sure there's still others to find!
