First one I'm wondering about is the K47 copy that used the metal rings instead of the white plastic ones, like the ones from Advanced Audio. Actually, I'm wondering about all of the ones sold by Advanced Audio. I doubt there's any difference in sound or quality between them and the normal 34mm ones with the plastic rings on WGTcenter (even 797's K67 uses the white plastic rings), but I am sort of curious about the other ones, though most of that is because the K47 from AA is 32mm rather than 34mm.
The other ones I'm wondering about are sold here:

In particular I'm interested in knowing about where the small diaphragm capsules come from. I know the edge terminated one is the RK-12, don't know about the centre terminated one, but I'm pretty sure it's just a normal Chinese K67 copy (dunno who makes it though), but I haven't heard anything about the small capsules. I'm guessing they're also cheap Chinese ones given the other 2 sold in the online shop are, and those SDC capsules are also used on the M60 FET, which looks like it's one of the "affordable" mics they make, and given that the Telefunken Alchemy series uses Chinese capsules (the TF47 is definitely using something like the RK47), I doubt they'd go with anything expensive for their affordable SDC (the ELAM 260 uses the same capsules).
Here is where you can look at the frequency response of the SDC capsules:
