I think 5a is the Seven Stones sound. I remember 5c as the Cirkus sound
although someone who actually owns a MkII would know for sure. I've
played around with the "hammond' organ on the Pinder sample disk and it
sounds like a dead ringer for "Seven Stones". The 6c Church organ is the
sound Pinder used. I hope Markus doesn't die or the world end if I am
mistaken in any of this!
