Barks paintings (a list again)

In this mail you find a list of Barks oil paintings. I got this list from
the book 'The fine art of Carl Barks' (or so). I have seen the book once,
and the owner gave me a copy of the index.
A lot of painting reproductions are published in Holland since 1987, in
the monthly magazine 'Donald Duck Extra'. That's why the list is of interest
for me, while I don't have the book.
When Barks started to paint Disney-things again for Another Rainbow,
he produced (at least) the paintings I numbered 123-136. I got some
information about these paintings from The Carl Barks Library (in which some
are reproduced, but not all). I don't have the CBL either...
As you can see, some information is missing, mostly about these AR paintings.
So, my question: can anyone give me the information to complete the list?
Maybe there are paintings, that are not on my list?
And: is there a way to tell the difference between the various paintings that
have the same 'inspiration'? (I can't tell which one is the Dutch reprint)
As always, remarks welcome, thanks in advance.
Harry.

---- start of list ----
Explanation of the columns:
Nr:
number, just telling the order in which Barks made the paintings.
I know number 0 actually is 4 or 5 paintings, looking almost alike.
Year:
the year Barks made the painting.
Or:
Orientation of the painting: P = portrait, L = landscape (since the
Dutch reprints are all the same size, I didn't bother to list the exact
size of the painting. The orientation is just an aid to recognize
the painting.)
Inspiration:
The cover or scene on which the painting was inspired. If a cover or scene
was used more than once, a number in () follows.
If the painting idea is all new, this column is blank.
Title/description
The title that Barks gave to the painting, or, if the painting has no
title: a description. (No capitals used.)
I would like to know which is which, but I don't
have the data.
