Yeah, you caught a flub. Dunno how I missed "T". But MMM was added in 1976. Survivor bias.

I also see that there were some other (rather obvious) name changes that I missed.

Lots of errors in here:

The dates on here don't reflect name changes evidently. That's what I get for using Wikipedia...

That's nice; now I've found a few more charts.
