Actually 30x40's and 40x60's can be A and B, or Y and Z depending on the year 
and the studio issuing it. I have never seen a style X on any of those sizes.

Michael

on vintage titles
one sheets are frequently referred to as A, B, C, D
often 40x60s are X, Y, Z

I can't recall the in-between size designations.

these designations are "reserved" for such sized posters is my 
understanding so that when ordering, the NSS employees knew what 
sizes the poster orders were for. In other words, the letters were on 
the order forms and indicated specific poster sizes and some of the 
pressbooks in my collection had those letter designations under the 
poster images

I have never seen a 40x60 described an an A (and I'm not talking 
about differentiation in styles in similar sizes)

LAMP probably has more info
