I'd be satisfied with a list of all transfers that doesn't specify whether they were accomplished under 8.2 or 8.3, but, would prefer the 8.3 transfers be identifiable.

I suspect that in most cases, 8.3 transfers will be partial blocks.
It is not possible to do a partial block transfer under 8.2 (unless the remainder is returned to ARIN).

As such, I think that most of them could be identified in an automated fashion.
