Folks, that is my VERY LAST post on this VERY OLD subject: In the L2 document register I found L2/98-397 http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2/98396.pdf which is a proposal for ISO/IEC TR 15907, a Type 3 TR for the revision of ISO 1073/II:1976.
On page 18 is a note that says: NOTE – The glyphs previously defined with reference numbers 120 (CHARACTER ERASE) and 121 (GROUP ERASE) have been deleted. That's the end of my digging in older documents. And have a nice weekend too !
