Fonts in a National Geographic Map

O.

Hello everyone,
hope I am getting this right as it's my first post on the site (read the guidelines already :)).
Anyhow, I found this National Geographic Map from 1983 and I quite liked the fonts used in it, however I haven't been able to identify any of the fonts and already went through my 3000+ font collection one by one, if someone knows what are these fonts, I would be sincerely thankful.

Font used for ocean titles:


Font used in the country names:


Font used for the cities names:



Thanks!

All these fonts where digitized, unitized and created exclusively by Linotype for National Geographic.

These are custom proprietary fonts not for resale. Sorry.
