How many different faces have there been on Tomy/Trackmaster Troublesome Trucks?

OK, here we go. It'll be interesting to hear how many I've missed!
First up are open troublesome trucks with flat / two-dimensional sticker faces, 8 in all, bottom right is S.C.Ruffey, the one to the left of him is the rarest. Anyone know what packs or sets he came in?
EDIT: Muddy has come up with this one as well:
Which must now be rarest on the basis that I'd never even seen it before!
Then the troublesome vans, all of whom have the same single face.
Then the tanker from the Japanese 'Thomas and the Busy Freight Cars Set', who may or may not have been troublesome, but since he's popularly known on BPT as the 'troublesome tanker', he gets included here.
Next we have trucks with flat '3-dimensional' sticker faces. These may look like moulded 3-D faces but in fact they are just flat stickers (certainly fooled me until the real experts put me right).
These are from the Troublesome Trucks pack.
Then we have Trackmaster open troublesome trucks with real moulded/molded faces, 3 in all.
Left is from the Sodor Mountain Mine, middle is from Farmer McColl's Hay Loader (and from the Target exclusive Duck at McColl's Farm), and right is S.C.Ruffey from one of the Trucks and Track packs.
Then lastly there's Horrid Hector.
So altogether I've counted a total of 17 troublesome faces.
EDIT: Now up to 18 with the addition of another sticker face, see above.
And for the sake of completeness, even though Toad doesn't come under the heading of 'troublesome' here's his sticker face and his moulded face, the latter comes from another of the Trucks and Track packs.
