Did they make a Blue Amberol version of the "D" Series Specials?..

There was no Blue Amberol repeat of the D Series of wax Amberols. The D cylinders are hard to find. I have only seen four, as below.

There was also a Hebrew Special series only released on wax Amberol, Nos.L-W (no 'N') as below:

Sp.L New York Military Band Fier dzecks marsch, die
Sp.M Henton, H Benne Szenen wos seinen die Lebendigste
Sp.O American Symphony Orchestra Dem nosir's glok overture
Sp.P Prince, Alexander Hop skotsch, a barn tanz
Sp.R Schwiller, Jean Jocelyn - Serenada fun malochim
Sp.S Paskal, Simon Mentsh zol men zayn, a - A
Sp.T Prager, Regine Schenkt a Neduwe
Sp.U Simonoff, Frances Ben ami Dus fertriebene Teibele
Sp.V Smulewitz, Solomon Yudische Chupe, a
Sp.W Johann Strauss Orchestra Oif dem scheim bloiem Dunai (Op.314)

I have never seen one of these and don't know what colour the box was. Any ideas?

Hope this adds to the thread

As Keith mentioned, there was also a Special Hebrew Series, L – W.
These are exceptionally hard-to-find and were featured in a MAPS, “In The Groove” publication a few years ago. I believe the boxes were the same as the Special A, B, C …. series

You can see the listing of L – W by referring to physical page 201 in the following link of Wendell Moore’s Edison Phonograph Monthly, Volume 9
