That's awesome! I have collected these pins (mainly Twins players) for a number of years and have seen very few of the small pins.
To try and answer some of the questions.
I don't think a complete checklist exists. The Standard Catalog of Baseball cards had a checklist but it was not complete.
I'm thinking they were made for at least two years and possibly three. You are correct in that there are color and black and white versions of a number of the players. There are also different head shots that are both black and white. Here are two different Killebrew buttons that are both black and white.
I am not sure why two different sizes exist and I don't know why certain players are so difficult while others are so easy.
