Hey Big Game.  The following comes from Dick Wightman's Hill page:
 http://www.dickwightman.com/howardhill/identifyinghills/identifyinghills.html  
I suggest that every Hill enthusiast check out Dick's page.  Great info there.  The LE information is on the "Identifying or Dating Hill Bows" page. Dick's wording is in italics

Hill Limited Edition Bows
Here is a list of Limited Edition Hill bows that Howard Hill Archery has made:
Commemorative... 75 made... one for each year of Howard Hill's life
Rogue... 50 made
Jungle Cat... 40 made
King of the North... 50 made
Ol' Three Toes... 50 made
Centennial... 90 made
Wild Boar.. 50 made
Sirroco... 50 to be made
 

I believe the next two LE models were the Robin Hood from last year and this year's bow, Ol' One Shot.  Limited to a run of 50 bows each.  Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of the LEs were built by Craig Ekin, with the exception of the Commemorative.  According to Bob Burton, roughly half of those were built by John Schulz, the remaining half by Tim Meigs.  

I own an LE Sirocco and really like it except for the locator grip.  I much prefer dished and straight grips.  Other than that the bow is beautifully constructed and shoots extremely well.  I did a little write up about it here, about half way down the page.  There are some pics too:

I have seen pics of all but maybe one of the LE models on the web.  Now that you have the model names Google should find them for you.  Good luck.
