[CQ-Contest] Need some VE (Canada) prefix information (before 1994)

I started working on the contest country files in early 1994.  I have 
merged this effort with two others, see:

	http://www.country-files.com/

I have lots of notes on the Canada/VE prefix structure since 1994, 
but little information about special prefixes that may have been used 
before 1994.

Base prefixes for Canada:

CF, CG, CH, CI, CJ, CK, CY, CZ, VA, VB, VC, VD, VE, VF, VG, VO, VX, 
VY, XJ, XK, XL, XM, XN, XO

Numbers usually represent the Province (VE1 = NS, VE2 = QC, ..., VE7 
= BC, VE8 = NWT).

Does anyone have a list of special prefixes from before 1994 that DO 
NOT fall into these simplistic rules?

Here are a couple of counter-examples I found:

	VO4MP in May, 1989 - this was VO1MP
	VY9CC in Nov, 1989 - I think this was VE4-land

The prefixes that seem to cause the most problems begin with CZ, VO, 
VY, XN and XO

Thanks for your help!
