There may be a 452 as well…Beretta SxS information out there is scarce.

Ken Pendleton is the most knowledgeable authority I have run across.

‘Silverhawk’ was used as the name in the US for a number of the models you listed (I have a 409 ‘Silverhawk’, and I know the 470 was sold as a Silverhawk as well).

The GR* and the 62* models, I believe, are the same as well (different US importers between Berben and Garcia, maybe?).

I believe the "9" was Beretta's first A&D gun. Beretta's earlier catalogs offered paralleli made by other manufacturers. And also Beretta's range of external hammer doubles. Prior to the "9", Beretta offered a Model 6 Hammerless Stella, which was based on earlier hammer guns.
