I found all of these 400w vintage mercs at Restore today. They were sitting in a old Sylvania HID box and all came in Sylvania sleeves with this design.
The lamps from left to right are:
Sylvania /DX Date code 16R, the only NOS lamp from the lot April 1981
Westinghouse Canada /DX Lifeguard, date code 01 October 1981
Westinghouse /DX Weather Duty Lifeguard, date code 3 on top, 70 under July 1970
GE /C Bonusline ED, date code 39 March 1967
GE /C Bonusline BT, date code 94 October 1963
Thanks to Dave for dating all the lamps for me.
Here's some closeups of the etches:

There's probably at least ten Restores within a hour's drive from where I am.
I did find a Cooper vapourtight HID light at one point. Someone bought it before I did.
