Marshall Moseley Staking Tool Set Layout

In a recent thread, Tom Colson posted links to updates to his K&D Inverto website - including newly scanned documentation for Marshall/Moseley staking tool sets.  This is exceedingly useful and important information - thanks! 

This leads, though, to a question:  What was the original factory box layout for the punches and stumps in the Moseley Staking Tool set?  I can't quite make it out from any of the photographs in the Marshall documents. K&D layouts have been published, but I cannot seem to find any Marshall/Moseley layouts.

Recently I acquired what was probably originally an 80-punch / 20-stump Moseley staking set in excellent condition, and I've since been able to expand its punch count to something nearer to one of the more complete sets (though as yet I lack the jeweling attachment).  But I can't figure out what the original punch/stump arrangement should have been.  It's made a bit more complicated by the fact that many of the punches, if placed in the lowest row of punch holes, interfere with the full closing of the box lid.

Unfortunately, no; I have discovered nothing further.  Neither could I make up an arrangement that both made sense to me and fit in the spaces.  So I found a second already-empty box on ebay and use both together.  Clearly this isn't right, but it has the advantage that it accommodates the occasional duplicate piece well.  If you would post the arrangement you end up adopting, I would be interested in seeing it.

Thank You oldhippy. I have seen that thread and many other, photos, sales flyers and manuals. I'm really looking for a diagram of the original layout with the C & E Marshall stake and stump numbers if someone had one floating around. Something like this one for K & D. If I end up figuring it out on my own I will make one and post it. Hoping someone has already done it and might share. 
Thanks again.

I realise this post is very old but it took me a long while to connect the dots here.

I do believe that the way the punches are laid out in the old C.E Marshall catalog (here) on pages 10 + 11 are the same as seen in the image of the set on page 12. However, instead of being spread over 5 rows (on pages 10 + 11) the punches are over 10 rows in the actual set (on page 12).
