I'm more familiar with parking lot lights and high Bay. I can probably take apart my lithonia hi tek 400w high Bay with my eyes closed. Because I'm so familiar with thoses lights and I done so many times.

Interesting when did sodium vapor come out?
I know MH didn't hit the market until the 60s
MV has been around for years.

Low pressure sodium was invented by Phillips in 1934, or so I`m told. I did`nt know MH came out until the 80s. I think HPS came out in 1968.

I think MV came out in the thirties, too. But I need someone who knows more lamp history.
