Uwe, I would say at this point there were two keycap styles:
Rounded with at least three variations: early red, later black and white, and Sears-branded black, all these being interchangeable regarding fit;
Square with no variations but two applications, early square cream and square cream on plastic-bodied typewriters, these two being interchangeable and nearly indistinguishable;
And two slug types: a slip-on, and a slip-on with a catch, the latter being found only on plastic-bodied machines, but they are all interchangeable.
There are pics here: https://imgur.com/a/FVO802N . Feel free to use them if they are good enough.
I have only seen the square keytop with slug-with-a-catch on Sterling Automatics (all-electric with plastic body) and thus only the 1/4 over 1/2, but all the other square-top ones fit anyway, so....
Hope this is clear and helpful. Thanks for bringing it all together.
