p.1 #1 · Help me ID Chimera softboxes

I picked up a pair of Chimera softboxes for a song (gotta love a depressed economy) but need to better understand what I have so I can get the proper accessories (if any).

I have a 16x22 that has tags that say "II" and "XS". I assume this is a Chimera Pro II softbox. There are no velcro on the outside of the opening. There is also no internal baffle. If I wanted to get the internal baffle/diffuser, what would I be looking for?

I have a 24x32 that has tags that say "Pro" and "S". It has several of the velcro "loop" strips on the outside by the front (3 on a side, I believe). I think this is their no-longer-made "Pro" series and not the Pro Plus. Again, no internal baffle/diffuser, so if I was looking for one, what would I get?

They both came with WL/AB speedrings, which is perfect for me.

Can anyone verify my assumptions (especially the 24x32)? And if anyone know what kind of baffle/diffuser I need, I'd appreciate it.

These are current product - as of the 2007 catalog anyway. The (24"x32") Super Pro Small takes internal baffle #4320 ($23). I don't see any distinction with Plus versions.
The (16"x22") Pro II XS takes internal baffle #4310 ($17).

Thanks, Rico! I am calling Calumet and seeing if they can get any in for me.
