were all these well known patterns amongst the fishing fraternity of the time (i recognise some like silver doctor) or just variations on a theme like for instance viva- cactushead viva - gold viva ,, etc.

Many were variations on existing British patterns. Quite a few are original British patterns, many were invented by various American anglers.  There are a lot more plates to follow, but I take a break now and then and do something else, as typing in fly names etc is incredibly boring, and it is easy to lose one's concentration.
