The later US issue has a separate major Scott catalog number mainly because the denomination has changed from the international 84¢ rate to the domestic 42¢ rate, not just because of the change in format.
Canada issue came in 2 formats:
-- pane of 16 (8 pairs), singles are Scott #2204 and #2205, the pair is #2205a, the pair in reverse order with gutter between is #2205i
-- souvenir sheet of 2, Scott #2205b

You're welcome.
I had my Unitrade with me, but I don't have my Facit with me. If nobody else has chimed in, I'll look up the Scandinavian formats after I get home.

Thanks, k!
Here is what I have:
Canada 2205b
Denmark 1373a
Finland 1280
Greenland 492a
Iceland 1098
Norway 1500
Sweden 2552
U.S. 4123
The U.S. issued the stamps separately in panes as 4203-04. Canada issued them separately in panes as 2205a. I don't know of any others so far, but Denmark and Greenland seem to be good candidates if the Scott numbering system is consistent. (Stop laughing Michael!).
You mentioned Canada 2205i. That looks to be a gutter between SS panes, not 2205a panes.

No that is the gutter between the stamp pairs within the 2204-2205 pane. The 8 pairs are arranged in 2 groups of 4 pairs, with a gutter between the 2 groups. So you could separate the pane into horizontal strips of 2205+gutter+2204. That is what Unitrade calls #2205i.

OK, gotcha! When you posted the catalog numbers I went to Stamps2Go and looked at examples and saw the thermometer on the gutter pair and remembered the thermometer to the right on the SS and got confused.
Thanks!

My bad, Lars. I was too lazy to post a pic of the full pane of 16 stamps showing the internal gutter. That would have made it more clear.
I still haven't gone home yet. I'll check the Facit then.

It looks like the only unsettled question is whether Denmark and/or Iceland issued their stamps in any format other than SS.

Hey, I'm the one begging for info. You shouldn't be expected to post images as well! I appreciate all the help.

Turns out my Facit is too old. Doesn't cover all the way to 2007. Someone else will need to chime in...

Here's a link to pics showing the different formats for the Canada issue:
Canada IPY
and a link to the blog covering the other non-joint-issue IPY stamps that you might find useful:

And a final link that has a pretty comprehensive list of IPY and related issues. Basically no pictures, but it does give Scott & Michel catalog numbers as well as pane formats. It does appear to indicate that the other items on your list were only produced in souvenir sheet format (only US and Canada released miniature pane versions).

I'm trying to find Scott numbers for the 7 other issues that were joint with US 4123 - International Polar Year 2007-2008. The hard part is that US also issued these same stamps later in the year in panes of 20 as 4203-04, so I'm afraid the numbers I have for Canada, Denmark, and Greenland are for similar pane issues and not the Souvenir Sheet.
