Hi Dave,

If I recall correctly, we already had here a similar discussion months
(years ?) ago.

The only thing I can answer right now is that these acronyms are in fact 
the begining of latine words :

Sculptit
Inventit
Fecit
Deleinatit (or a similar word : my latine - 50 years ago - is too rusty 
to remember correctly these difficult words ... )

HTH

All the best,
