Should also ad the 12 series although those are submerged props. Plus there are the Octura decimals like the 1.25 and such although they are almost unheard of any more.

Should also note that these are for Octura props.

You have X6xx down as "medium-high lift" the same as 14xx, I would say X6xx is much lower lift in comparison to the 14 series.
You could also add N9xx low blade area, medium lift, high pitch.

Any errors are due to either errors in the pdf file, or my eyes getting crossed copying it. Please correct me if you find something wrong.
