As of January 2011, I have encountered three types of BEDT matchbooks.
One book (Variety 3) resides in the collection of John LaBarre, and I own three matchbooks of the two varieties below:
two Variety 1 (older): 1 of which is unused and one used with 1 matchstick remaining (book disassembled for scanning),
and one Variety 2 (newer).

Variety 1
(older: pre-1941)
FEATURE MATCHBOOK PAT 1,839,845-6
LION MATCH Co. INC. NY MADE IN USA

outside cover - front unused book	inside cover unused book with matchsticks	inside cover used book	outside cover used book	outside cover - back unused book
Note: "Market Terminal Wallabout Brooklyn, NY" is listed (just about the matchheads). No doubt this variety was made before the 1941 Navy Yard expansion; therefore is the older of the two types represented. Also, all rules and lines are black ink. .
Variety 2 (younger: post-1941) LION MATCH Co. [punchhole] INC. NY MADE IN USA
outside cover - front complete unused book	inside cover complete unused book with matchsticks		outside cover complete unused book	outside cover - back complete unused book
Note: "Market Terminal Wallabout Brooklyn, NY" has been replaced with "NAVY YARD (BEDT)" (just above the matchheads). No doubt this variety was made after the 1941 Navy Yard expansion; therefore is the younger of the two types represented. Also BROOKLYN EASTERN DISTRICT TERMINAL on the front outside cover has been changed to "BROOKLYN E. D. TERMINAL" Rules and lines are yellow ink.
Variety 3 (unknown era) unknown manufacturer collection of John LaBarre
	outside cover complete unused book		inside cover complete unused book with matchsticks
