Don McCathren gives the pitches of the mouthpieces alone in his "Playing and Teaching the Clarinet Family" pamphlet from around 1959 (I can't find an actual copyright date, just the date at the end of the preface). He writes:

Eb soprano - D (two lines and a space above the staff)
Bb soprano - C (two lines above)
Alto - Ab (one line above)
Bass - F (5th line of staff)
Contra Alto - Eb (4th space)
Contra Bass - C (3rd space)

This doesn't quite line up with Tom Ridenour's that you quote above though.
