Included list has partnumbers combined from few manuals and some pictures.
It even includes the famously missing option -04.
If there is a mfg number it's from manual.
If mfg number is present but Fluke stock number is missing they are the same.
If there is no option ID then it's from picture.
Rest are eighter way.
Some variable module placements.

For 8506A the Thermal TRMS is not mandatory per se, but among ACs it is.
So you can leave it off and the machine is fine with simultaneous Ohms and Currents.
In case you hack 8505A to be 8506A remember button placings.

Rest are F, so the whole DM74s287/N82s129 is programmed and can't be reused.
(TBP14s10N on schematics)
Since A13 is directly wired to U24 and 2nd set has double area for U24 one can guess that they have had some bigger ROM chip thoughts.
U18 ROM can be replaced with 74159 and 4 pull up resistors.
original A4 to _G1 and _G2
with pull up
0-3 outputs to U24
4-7 outputs to U23
output 8 to U22
output 9 to U20
27256 ROM is a drop in replacement for 2764.
Then U23 can be left out, but changing jumper W3 wont work since RAM location changes.
Combining and doubling U24 and U23 is fine but U18 content must be changed.
Rewiring A13 and lifting chip leg wont do either since _CS is not serviced.
Replacing U18 with 74159 will do, then its outputs 0-7 are combined to socket's _CS.
If replacement 74159 is used then remaining empty ROM socket can be used for extra software.
Then A-F outputs are combined to empty socket _CS and extra ROM space is available.
In case of extra software keep in mind that it's of course also possible that original software is testing that originally unused address space.
