[cactuswings 2124] REQ: A few Marana, Mojave and Victorville queries

I'm just completing my lists from the big storage yards in late January, and I need some help please with a few bits, then I will be able to post the full lists. Can anyone help with these?
 
Marana:  We didn't fly close to the group of aircraft used for training at the far side of the field, these are arranged in two rows:-
1. white MD80 then 2 ProAir MD90s
2. Ansett 743, Northwest 757, Air Canada 762, Northwest DC10, Northwest 742, Northwest A320, United 732
 
Then on the first storage row near to these are three ABX DC9s, a white 732, a Delta A320, a Delta A319 and an all white A320. Also the Hellenic 742.
 
If anyone can advise the identity of these aircraft I would be grateful - I think we got everything else.
 
Victorville:  I need the identity of the FedEx 727-100 and Delta 727-200 used for training (presumably) plus there is a United 762 in bare metal with no visible ID. There are also two FedEx MD10s parked seperately from all of the others, out on the field, by process of elimination these may be N310FE and N68056 but as we forgot to photograph them (!) I need confirmation. Also a KLM MD11 parked next to the Deta DC10.
 
Mojave:  There appeared to be 7 Air Canada DC9s left. Four are together at one end of the main storage area, these are FTME and FTMU plus 2 with N regs that seem to be on one side only but our photos are too blurred to read them (it was very windy). The other three are FTMV plus two more parked either side of the US Air 733 - if they have regs then they must be very faded. I also noticed what looked like a complete fuselage of a Mexicana Fokker 100 when going through the photos - any ideas? We got more or less everything else (or can tie up a few obvious ones like the Convairs from the net).
 
Tucson:  We didn't get all of the Southwests, although an overflight photo shows one of them to be the original Shamu/Seaworld 733. There was a 737 with "DD" on a dark blue tail - any ideas please?
 
Goodyear:  There was a heavily stripped World MD11 between the hangars, this may be N270WA, can this be confirmed? Plus a Rossiya 735, Bluebird 737, Air New Zealand 744 and the World DC10s which we couldn't read any of (it was going dark). Also there were two TAM A319s, one definitely MZB, the other not readable but I think will be MZA, again confirmation required. A stripped Strategic A320 was behind the stripped MD11 but I am not too bothered about this one as it was based at my home airport of MAN!
 
Any help would be appreciated - I should be able to post some very complete logs.
 
Thanks - Andy
