Good quiz and well-researched. One quibble with one of your comments. Although you are absolutely right to note that Vatican 2 did not abolish the Latin Mass, it only permitted Mass to be said in the vernacular as an alternative, it is not the traditional (tridentine rite) Latin Mass that is said now in Catholic churches.

The Tridentine Mass is actually precisely the form of the Mass that many churches are saying. "Traditional Latin Mass" is most certainly the name used to describe Mass that is celebrated entirely in Latin, ad orientem, without traces of the Novus Ordo Mass.

I am aware that some priests celebrate the tridentine rite but unless I am mistaken - with the occasional exception - that is not sanctioned by the church. The approved Latin Mass is the "new" version written after Vatican 2 which, of course is the one translated into hundreds of other languages for the celebration in the vernacular.
