Went ahead and tried the 0.7 version, and it has Finder 5.1 from 1986 with a System file from January 4, 1986.
The only one that looks like it might predate the original release is the 0.0 one with the Finder 1.0. I need to dig out my copy of Resedit and see what the version string on the System file is, but given the icons and other clues I'm guessing it's at least newer than the "0.85" that came with the Guided Tour. Still, interesting to see. More versions of old system software are always fun to have. Thanks for your work :) Incidentally, http://school.anhb.uwa.edu.au/personalpages/kwessen/web/stories/EarlyMacStories.html#system085 is back up with a download for System 0.85. The note says it requires a 64k ROM, which seems to be the case as I was unable to boot it on my Classic. Errors a bit of a ways in. I was going to try it on my 128k Mac with Plus roms (the originals were bad) but it's not showing a video display now. Hmm...
