Wow, 42 posts on this, now 43.
You threw it in the bay, for sure someone will take a swim and fish it out.
To sum up, here is my "oversimplified generalization" for 119 & 120 most common sheath combinations.
This is not to say there are not overlaps at the edges.
4-spacer ~ holster
3-spacer ~ swivel
2-spacer ~ flat

David, if Group 3 is saying that 120 swivel sheaths started in 1981, I honestly and respectfully think that information is wrong and needs to be revised. In either '78 or '79, I purchased my 120 "swivel" while in high school with money I made working at my grandfather's gas station. I graduated in 1979, so I know it was late 70s.
In this thread (https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/vintage-buck-119-info.1351154/page-2 ) from 2015, I posted a NIB 119 with swivel sheath and its original sales receipt from 1977. It's hard to believe that the 120 didn't get a swivel sheath until 1981 - four years after the 119.
