I think it would take quite a group effort to answer your question properly, as there are new finds all the time. However, the best place to look for this sort of information is in Christian Miks very comprehensive book on Roman swords. I don't have my copy with me right now but others here might be able to look for you.
One thing I could say though is that the Fulham sword is not a 'type' as such. It is a Mainz type sword, albeit a slightly narrow example. I think people like to count it as a separate type on the basis of it being the only Mainz type sword known from Britain. I don't think that is a good enough reason.
