Maybe some of these hosts files that Lars Brinkhoff gathered together will help:

There's another list of the membership (but not the addresses) under
1971 but the descriptions peter out after that.
I was doing some digging for old HOSTS.TXT files, one of which would
give a roughly chronological order, and a sequence of which would allow
for reconstructing the history, but didn't come up with anything.
Well, I did find one file from 1973 that seemed to have the information
but the trouble is that file was a document scan that stopped after the
first page.
Once internetworking experiments started there were sequences of
"assigned number" RFCs that showed the evolution of internetworking and
component networks but I came up empty looking for just the plain old
HOSTS.TXT files.

Admittedly a couple of the maps are hard to process even with zooming in
but a lot of them are very readable even to my old eyes. And yeah, they
don't answer the history question except by inference through visual
comparison. Just couldn't find anything better.
