My guess on the timeline order is DABC.  I do not know why or when they changed but someone here will have good answers for you.  The logo in pic 'B' is my favorite.

My thought as the "W" was a Wesson thing.  Just my thought!  I have all of the shown though not sure when why or where they all fit!

I think you're right, from what I've seen.
 

The chrome coating on thosw "W" medallions must be pretty thin, because I rarely see them in original shape…they are usually worn off & looking like plastic, as in the pic.

B & C are pretty much the same, other than C being a pewter material that appears to have been used off & on during the 80's. The B style is still being used today, as far as I know.

If I had to pick a favorite, I would say A. Mostly because it does a good job of combining the old with the new i.e.; D & B.
