As far as I know, only those four, so if you’ve been opening files searching for “the one” you might have tainted the list. Perhaps one of the more seasoned users or devs knows if there is a larger master URI list.
One final thing to consider is to check your balances. Are they otherwise correct? Run a transaction report and only show activity in Q4 (or a P&L/Income Statement) Do you get blank results or does something show up to indicate the data is there? If you get decent reporting, perhaps the register you are viewing is set to some filter. Other than that, without a backup...
