Old designations for aluminum alloys: G97S, B19S, A56S

I am looking for the four digit aluminium alloy designations for some old designations in the following format e.g., G57S, B19S, A56S. Please could some suggest where I could find these - preferably on the Net.

Thank you.

A56S is an Alcan designation. Equivalent to 5056A or ISO R209 grade Al-Mg5 or DIN 1700 AlMg5 or DIN 17007 3.3355 or Italian grade P-AlMg5 or Japanese grade A5056. I rather suspect that the other two grades you mention are also Alcan, but have no record of them.
