Got an update. I contacted Spacelabs Healthcare. They were known as Spacelabs Inc. back in the '60s and '70s. They sent me some images, and the logo's fonts are all over the place.

Here's one of your missing fuzzy's (Tektronix)...
There were variations, this one on a piece of equipment is a closer match.

You are welcome, glad to help! I have an old Tektronix 'scope cart that has the logo on it so I see it every day and it jumped right out at me from the blurry picture. So 23 of the 24 are identified, should make it easier to find the last one.
p.s.: I'd be interested in buying a Tektronix one from you if you make an extra, please lmk.

After enlarging your capture, the graphic looks more like a woman's face/head rather than a man's but still wearing a corn cob hat or maybe it's just curls but I'm thinking it's an agriculture related industry.
douglastrumbell.com gives a gmail address that may reach him directly but it might be filtered through his website representative. I'm guessing he'd remember and would be willing to provide you with the info and he'd probably be flattered by your reproduction of these.
Were your captures taken from a blu ray or DVD?
If these are physical models, I'm seriously interested in purchasing one from you if possible.

BTW, I recently discovered the font used on the "Geosylva Telopor" triangle is NOT Futura as most people think... it is in fact "Souvenir."

Hmmm, can you show an example? To my understanding, Souvenir is a rounder and slightly serifed font, whereas Futura is a hard edged sans-serif.
True that the logo has Futura on the version on the miniature where the camera pulls away from Lowell in the window. But on the cargo pods, it's Souvenir. Note the thicks and thins.
Blurred to simulate the video image, the serifs start to get lost.
