Register of woodcuts of Ottomans by Melchior Lorck, 1570-83

[Druzhina]

The woodcuts of Ottomans by Melchior Lorck were made in 1570-83, but 1st published (postumously) in 1626. The British Library has a nearly complete set as loose leaves, which are only known by their description e.g:
A knight on horseback (A Delli)
A soldier holding a lance by Melchior Lorck
A cavalry member by Melchior Lorck
A rider with a large double banner
A soldier wearing a helmet by Melchior Lorck
A soldier walking to right by Melchior Lorck
or by the figure numbers that they appear as in modern publications.
The BnF has an intact 1646 edition with a 3 page register of plate descriptions in German. But the numbers on these don't correspond to the order the plates appear in the book, presumably because Melchior Lorck died with the project unfinished.  This edition includes a couple of plates without the usual monograms or dates:
Musketeer by Melchior Lorck? &
Standards by Melchior Lorck? which may not be by Melchior Lorck.

There appears to be some very useful information in the register. I have typed my interpretation of some of the register of Melchior Lorck plates. Are there other copies of this register without blotches? Is there a list which matches these descriptions with the plates? A translation into English or someone willing to do this?

Dellis seem to be the only pike and shot light cavalry who carried a greater overall weight than many heavies!

Thanks for the pictures.
