Not sure if these qualify, but the current MBHO's have a lifetime warranty too.
I've got a few MB made mics that were probably from that era sold under the Peerless brand. Mine have interchangeable capsules and I really like the cardioids. They seem to have a fuller bass response than the current KA 200's.
Most of the stuff I tape is not for wide distribution, but here's a link to a John Cowan show on LMA where I used the older caps with the active cables and 603A bodies.http://archive.org/details/jct2011-12-15.flac16The inside of the capsules say "MB C92540" The bodies that came with them were MBC-540. I believe they were transformer based. Never really got to use them as one was broken. The capsules work on all other MBHO preamps as well as an early pair of Josephson bodies I have made by MB id'ed as PEERLESS MBC 640.
