Just had a PM asking some further questions:
I can go better than that, as it happens. Just checked the filing cabinet and various old backup drives, and here's some more info. The ORTF pair were Shure KSM141s, and the vocal spot mic was a Shure KSM132. The MS pair was an AKG C414BXLS and a C414B XLII, and the omni spot mics were Earthworks TC25s. I actually measured the mic distances from the main pair on the day. The TC25s were 130cm and 120cm away respectively, the MS pair was 240cm away, and the vocal spot was 220cm away.
As for preamps, all the mics went through a first-generation Mackie 1642VLZ Pro mixer without any EQ, and were then recorded at line level into the built-in TRS inputs of a Roland VS2480 multitrack running in non-data-compressed mode at 24-bit/44.1kHz.
Hope that makes sense!
