Deconfusing Husqvarna Model Nomenclature...

Within days, a thread clarified Husqvarna "Model 1600" as having become popular generic nomenclature and referring to the models ostensibly within such general category. Thanks particularly to Baribol and all contributing to that thread, which I found very informative/demystifying!
Now, turning to the Husqvarna generic "Model 640", please confirm whether my listing below, representing specimens of my Husqvarnas, is an accurate assessment of models within that 'umbrella'. Here set forth 'more less' chronologically.

1. FN action 98, late forties-mid fifties, solid-sidewall/low scope bolt, multi-chamberings.
2. FN action 98, early postwar, thumb-sidewall/mil bolt, 8x57.
3. Husqvarna 96 action, late mid-war to early postwar, solid-sidewall/mil, Euro-chamberings
4. FN. action 98, late prewar to mid-war, Thumb-sidewall/ bolt, Euro-chamberings.

Thanks sincerely for clarification/confirmation.
Best!

First z14, sorry a bit late in getting back here! Thanks for the clarification. The reference to the #4 Mod 98 was there in my memory banks. I never forget anything, but do sometimes lose the 'log in'; occasionally permanently! :) I think we're parallel concerning the others. My lament is the apparent nonsensical approach of the firm designating or 'suffering' others to do such a generic designation!
Thanks much for your clarification!!!
Best!

Just another BIG THANKS, Gentlemen! So much info, so little time... to absorb. Hope there won't be any 'pop quiz' concerning all this anytime soon! :)
These Husqvarnas certainly great rifles and the variations, interesting! Just wishing that some more 'simple-functional' overall system!
Good thing the 'product' well makes up for leaving me feeling a bit stupid about such as demonstrated here! :)
Again, Big Thanks to all 'clarifiers!'
Best!
