Yes, the S/360 had packed decimal - but much more limited in length, and no wordmark concept.
The 7070 and 7080 were contemporary with the 1410, not after it. They did not follow it. While data representations were somewhat similar, the instruction formats were very different. he 7080 (which apparently fixed a 7070 design which made it an orphan pretty quick) was announced in January 1960, and the 1410 in October of that same year. What 7070 and 7080 actually followed were the 705 and 650. They were also different from the 1401/1410 in that they used fixed length instructions, rather than the variable instructions used by the 1401/1410. https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/dpd50/dpd50_chronology2.html In the 7000 series, the 1410 equivalent was the 7010 - architecturally compatible, ran the same software, but implemented in 7000 series technology. It came along in 1962. So that was really the last one to be introduced of its ilk. Other than clones and the like (e.g., from folks like Honeywell), I'm not aware of any other machines with a similar architecture to the 1401 and 1410. Name them? By 1968 the System/360 had essentially toasted them all.
