I'd have to look up specs to find exact frequency's but I think ours are lower than yours but only slightly so I think all DAB+/DAB radios cover all the frequency's you've mentioned as well as some higher and lower in that part of the spectrum.
Only exception to this rul I've found is the Yamaha T500D DAB/DAB+ tuner I have, not only does it cover the standard frequency's we know of but it also covers some in the @.0GHZ range so that must be for another standard in another country or part of the world, I'll dish up the specs for the Contour when I get some time and post them.
