Bcd is rare one to find matching
The most common would be either bnz45 or byf45, but both in good condition are highly collectible.
Dot44 would be next followed by bcd45 (albeit in semi-kriegs, and never in full KM trim).
Next would be svw45 and svwMB - two Mauser late code changes.
The next scarcest of the lot are swp45 and dou45 with the edge to dou45 examples.
Both of the latter are almost always equipped with takedown disks but with KM front ends.
There are some very scarce full KM released by Brunn I.
Finally we have the swjXE - the scarcest of all of the 45 dated examples.
I am not including the oddballs like the S/42 1938 tool room receiver example Mike posted some years ago.
At least that's the way I see the breakdown.
