Notes

Intergraph files use NatOriginLat/Long instead of CenterLat/Long. Earlier discussions of VanDerGrinten don't include a scale, and CenterLat, but Intergraph's files do. I have omitted them from the above list, but I imagine they may be added back.

Note that VanDerGrinten is a spherical projection. Care must be taken translating between systems that derive a spherical radius approximation from the ellipsoid by different mechanisms.
