The Vaynol is a native British breed. I think
I believe you missed some more breeds, though one could be listed as an original and the one you listed an off shoot. These are (pardon spelling)
Gloucester
White Park (different from the British White I think the White Park has a similar look to the Texas Long horn)
Devon (South Devon an offshout)
Sussex
