[Clegg] Clegg Thor 6 and Thor Six and Thor VI - - really?

I am trying to straighten out my confusion with:
Thor 6, Thor Six and Thor VI.
I know that there is really a Thor 6, and supposedly with the tubes listed 
below, and I think it first came out in 1963.
I know I have seen a Thor VI, but I can't seem to Google up a picture of 
one.
At one time I accumulated the tube list below for the Thor VI, but here 
again I haven't been able to Google that up either.
I also have 1962 as the first year of Thor VI.
For a little more confusion I can Google up as many references to Thor Six 
as to Thor 6, and there are many references to Thor VI.
I am, however, believing that there never was a Thor Six.

CLEGG THOR VI
6DJ8, 6U8, 12BA7, 7558, 12AX7, 12BH7, 6CW4, 6EH7, 6AL5, 6BM8, 6883

CLEGG THOR 6
6DJ8, 6U8A, 12BA7, 6DJ8, 7558, 6883, 0A2, 12AX7, 6CW4, 6EH7, 6BL8, 6EH7 
12AL5, 6BM8

Those tubes in Thor 6 but missing in my lineup for Thor VI are:  6DJ8, 6BL8 
and a 6EH7.  Also the 12AL5 in the Thor 6 is replaced by 6AL5 in the Thor 
VI.  Or, maybe the "replaced" went in the other direction.  (The chicken and 
egg problem)

So - - - I would like to hear from anyone  WHO REALLY KNOWS:
When was the first Thor 6 made.
Does Thor VI exist, if so what is the tube alignment, and when was it first 
made?
Is "Thor Six" merely an often repeated error?.
Can someone supply to me a good legally publishable picture of a Thor VI?
Is the only difference the price?
