Question on the original SFB set

I joined the SFB universe at the time of the Designer's Edition. I appreciate that the original game of SFB was a ziploc bag with seven ships.
My question is, what were those original seven ships? I'd hazard Fed CA, Fed DD, Fed Tug, D7/6 combination card, Rom WB, Orion CR, Thol PC. Or possibly replace the PC with the Fed DN.
Can someone tell me the correct answer, please?

Too long ago to remember clearly now!
But boardgamegeek says there were eight SSDs in the zip bag. And another entry lists the counter mix as:
Federation (Black on Blue):
CA1, CA2, CA3, CC4, CC5, CC6, CL7, CL8, CL9, DN10, DN11, DN12, S1, S2, S3, S4, S6, S6 (18)
Klingon (White on Black):
D6 1, D6 2, D6 3, D7 1, D7 2, D7 3, S1, S2, S3, Drone 1-9 (18)
Gorn (Red on White):
CA1, CA2, CA3, CL4, CL5, CL6, S1, S2, S3, Plasma Torpedo 1-9 (18)
Romulan (Black on Red):
WB1, WB2, WB3, WE4, WE5, WE6, KR7, KR8, KR9, S1, S2, S3,
Plasma Torpedo 1-9 (21)
Kzinti (Black on White):
CS1, CS2, CS3, CL4, CL5, CL6, S1, S2, S3, Drone 1-18 (27)
General (on Black):
Mine 1, Mine 2, Planet (Earth Looking) (3)
General (on White):
Monster 1, Monster 2, BS (3)
My best guess is therefore:
Fed CA/CC
Fed DN
Fed CL
Klingon D7/D6
Romulan KR
Romulan War Bird/War Eagle
Gorn CA/CL
Kzinti Strike Cruiser
Alternatively, the KR could have been on the D7/D6 sheet, and the last SSD would have been a base station.

To the best of my memory.

I think I remember that the Kzinti CS came with shaded boxes to make it a CL. but it has been a long long time.

Yes it did. Those who said you memory was shot were wrong!
I may still have some of those in stowage. Must look.

I think my article is the one quoted from BGG above, and here is the part about the SSD's in the pocket version:
6) Eight Ship Systems Displays (SSD’s).
The eight SSD’s come divided in two different sheets with four per sheet.
The eight SSD’s are:
a) Federation Command Cruiser/Federation Heavy Cruiser
b) Gorn Heavy Cruiser/Gorn Light Cruiser
c) Romulan War Eagle/Romulan Warbird
d) Base Station
e) Klingon Battlecruiser D7 or D6 Class/Romulan KR Class
f) Federation Dreadnought
g) Kzinti Strike Cruiser/Kzinti Light Cruiser
h) Federation Light Cruiser
