There's a pic of my chipset here.  Early NTSC A1000.

Numbers are not 100% clear
Paula 8364R4 - 0886
Agnus 8361R5 - 0186
Daphne 8362R5 - 0686?

That's what I thought as well but according to thread here a few days back the very early A1000s chips were called Daphne.  From a dig on google groups I can find a few references to Daphne but according to a post from Dale Luck they would have been dropped before March 1985.
BTW Paula was called Portia at one point.

I don't know what the distinction is though I did find out Extra_halfbright mode first appeared in 8362R6.
