Black Guardians and identifying old Eldar bitz

I bought a junk lot on eBay a couple weeks ago, and sorted it into usable and "Terrain fodder."

I ended up with a small handful of metal Eldar bitz, two of which are left arms with chainblades. One is still atached to the remainder of the sprue tab, which is labeled "BLK GUARDIAN". When was a Black Guardian kit available? Second Edition?
I checked the CCM Wiki collector's guides, but 80% of the photos in the Eldar area are broken or missing.

I also have some pieces of what appear to be a Second Edition Heavy Weapons Platform, but can't be sure. Iknow one bit is the backpack from a "Loader" model (via CCM Wiki). Anyone have shots of old 2nd Ed Eldar I can identify off of?

I can toss a pic up tonight, but figured I'd ask for a resource first.

The chainsword is from the current Storm guardian kits.

The tab says Black Guardian because they were released in 3rd /4th edition with the release of the craft world codex.

Ahhh, ok. Thanks.
I also managed to ID some of the other bitz using Stuff of Legends' catalog archive...looks like some Fire Prism targeters and such.

Actually the Black Guardians were released during the Eye of Terror book and campaign.
