A very interesting observation, Ian!
Yes, Cut Dry is the obvious one. I did a survey of versions for an
article in the NPS mag many (harvest) moons ago, and have since come up
with more information and my own version, but one good version is
enough (e.g. Peacock or Dixon).
Others with appropriate titles are Jack's
