There is an error concerning SM sprues:

Mark I B contents are as follows:

- 1 Land speeder (central hull plus double cockpit, it was two pieces
assembled)
- 2 bikes
- 1 robot (conqueror class)
- 1 Marine officer with banner (labeled as space marine commanders)
- 2 veteran marines (labeled as space marine captains)
- 2 Terminator marines
- 2 Devastator marines (labeled as SM with heavy weapons)
- 4 Assault marines (labeled as space marines with jump packs)
- 20 tactical marines (SM armour mark 7. It was curious that those were the
only marines using that armour in the sprue, whereas the others used the
classical mark 6 SM armour)

Thus, the information presented in the pdf is correct, but the picture
corresponds to the e40k sprue.

I still have one sprue with some models still in it and the original box,
unfortunately I have no pics. Oh, the price's still on the box: it was in
pesetas, in nowadays currency its around 7 euros. Not bad, 175 plastic
models for 7 euros, that's around 8 US dollars, I think. These ones were
released on 1990 simultaneously with most of the small SM2 boxes containing
sprues:

- SM Land Raiders - I don't remember the exact name - (Consisting on sprues
with Mark 6 SM tacts. (120) plus Land Raiders (12) )
- SM Legion - the one above, with 5 sprues
- SM tactical Company (Consisting on sprues with Mark 6 SM tacts (120) plus
Rhinos (24) )
- Imperial Guard
- Chaos warband (not sure about the box name)
- Ork 1 - I don't remember the exact name - (different types of ork
infantry, bikes and more)
- Ork 2 - I don't remember the exact name - (ork infantry plus battlewagons)
- Eldar 1 - I don't remember the exact name - (eldar specialised infantry
plus bikes, ...)
- Eldar 2 - I don't remember the exact name - (eldar guardians plus falcons)
- Squat - I don't remember the exact name - (specialised infantry, plus
light artillery and bikes)
- Stompers - dreadnoughts and more for all armies (SM terminators, SM
dreadnoughts, mole mortars, ork stompas, ork dreadnoughts, those bloody
Shokk attack gunz, eldar dreadnoughts, chaos dreadnoughts and chaos androids
and maybe I forgot something)

Also, mark I C is the same as mark I A. The diference is that in the SM2 box
came both Land Raiders and Rhinos sprues together, in the small boxes they
came separated.

I also think that whirlwind mark 3 is made from plastic. I had some of those
but as I adquired them second hand I'm not sure what sprue did they came
from.
