Hi Jon, I've have a Panasonic MUMS0442A1A 400 W that has an encoder on the back. Also something on the order of a Getty Brushless that I know nothing about and an SEM that IIRC is a 115E seres that I believe has hall devices on it. The last two are buried down in the shop but I can get better numbers tomorrow.
