Someone in another thread, I forget now which one, was asking recently about a chart for Bucheimer's Concealer line of holsters. I haven't seen one yet but I've found that the two-digit number codes listed in the first post of this thread for 1975 under break front holsters correspond with the Concealer codes.
For example, I have a Concealer that's marked BCW-52. Ignoring the BCW (Black Concealer basketWeave?), if I look up number 52 on that list here, it tells me it fits a 2.5" K-frame, which mine indeed does. I've also tested this with a couple others for which I knew the fit and it seems to be correct. I assume this would also work for the Colt codes listed.
This is the set of codes I'm referring to:
