Can someone fill a beginner on the different test note year and denominations?

I know about the following

1954 $2. SR
1974 $2. SR
1972 $5  RS
1973 $1  EXA and AXA

Think there may be a 1979 $5 version as well

Are there a lot more?

The 1974 $2 test notes and the 1972 $5 test notes both have the prefix RS.

The 1979 $5 test notes have serial numbers starting with "33".

Certain ranges of E/R and G/R for the 1954 $2 Modified series are also test notes.

Sorry, forgot to add that the 1973 $1 notes with prefixes AXA and EXA are also test notes, and apparently the 1986 $5 notes with serial numbers between GOG0100000 and GOG0199999 are test notes.
