Hi Rich, yes, interesting stuff. I was never familiar with hot metal 'typewriter' fonts. Caslon, Baskerville, Times etc. Standards. But there's another twist you'll be familiar with. The Compugraphic and Letraset & Mecanorma dry-transfer sheets of my early graphics career were always American Typewriter. Not German, Italian, French or British. Not just 'Typewriter', always American Typewriter. Strange, but quite nice really.
