Is that something you would do, please? I'm not in a position to do it - don't know about those topics, etc. Thanks :)

This sounds like the best way to get the info I'm asking about - right from the system that creates the components for the ISO.

If you are unable to do that, do you know who does that kind of thing? Who should I ask?
Thanks :)
