Yes, you have. What I mean is that labeling a table "E-500, E-510 with 
7mm" will lead to inevitable questions from those with E-520, 620 and 
future models.

I would instead label the table "4/3 sensor with 7mm extension tube". 
Anyone with camera, adapter, tube(s) and bellows in hand will obviously 
know which tube they needed to mount the bellows.

So the tables become:
4/3 sensor with 7mm extension tube (13.5x18mm)
4/3 sensor without extension tube (13.5x18mm)
APS-C sensor with 14mm extension tube (22.2 x 14.8 mm*)
Full Frame film or sensor with 7mm Extension tube (24x36mm)

* Individual models vary slightly.
-----------------
If desired, a second table could document models and tube needed for each.

Note that Alan wrote "It looks as though I need 4 new tables for each 
macro lens:" With camera models noted in the table titles, adding new 
models could be quite a chore for all those individual tables.
