Ben,
As best as I can say, in the UK all the sets you list came with 2x4
couplings. I say this from direct personal experience, except the 114 which
was never available in the UK. Neither was 080 oficially, but I can confirm
that one because I had one specially ordered.
Admittedly 2x2 couplings were illustrated in various places, but never found
in the sets. Have you actually got any 2x2 couplings? If so, do you know
(for sure) where they came from?

So they exist but they are much more rare (I searched for 2x2 couplings just because of their rarity, when I had more then enough 2x4 (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
