Been digging around graflex.org and a lot of catalogs on Pacific Rim, but have yet to run across a publication dedicated to the selection of Kodak Anastigmat lenses offered for the Graflex Series D, 4x5 cameras.

I have the standard No. 33, 7.5 inch f4.5 lens, but the "No. 33" makes me wonder what other focal lengths were offered that cover 4x5 and what "numbers" are they?

Anyone know of a period reference they can point me to?

Kino, you ought to be aware of and use "The List." If you don't know what it is, please ask.

I believe the longer lenses Graflex offered were Wollensak.
The 10th edition of Graphic Graflex Photography mentions that the 4X5 RB Ser D used 7" and 7.5" f4.5, 14", 15" 17" f5.6 and a 20".
The #33 has 5X7 coverage and the #34 is 8X10.
