Jan, normally stocks code are written between the sprockets. You need a magnifier to read this.
However, I don't think the issue of stock is matter. There were too many stock used at the time of super 8mm, it is just like today's lab where they are using photo paper that can be anything. Let us see Walton Films that for the same title used film stock from Kodak SP, Eastman, 3M, Fuji, AGFA, LPP, etc.
I understand that film stock issue will bring the idea about the color seen today, but giving this to Jan, will create too much job for him.
In fact so many films are found to be unmarked stock, then how can we tell?
Now, Jan can you give us the wikipedia link?

Hi Jan,
I have checked your Sandbox and has the impression that the current list is a bit confusing. This is due to separation entry for the same film but released in different length and sound format.
As a result when we sort the list based on the title, the same title will be listed twice or three times because they are listed separately.
Here is the screen shot:

My advise is for you to list one title only in one entry by taking the greatest version available, e.g 400' length, color and sound.
Most collectors will find the best print available and avoid to buy e.g. a 200', B/W, Silent of Star Wars if they know a 400', Color and Sound of the same title is available.
On the note we can add some info that several versions of prints were also released.
With this type of spread sheet will make the table looks simpler as shown on the below screen shot:

My second input is to put the particle "the" on the back so "The Robe" is best written as "Robe, the". By doing this, every title started with "the" will not be listed under 'T' on alphabetical order.
My 2 cents though,
