Have you seen Curtiss Aircraft 1907-1947 by Peter M. Bowers. Putnam, 1979 and 1987 (reprint)?

On pages 627-629 there is an appendix: “Curtiss Aeroplanes Listed by Curtiss Numerical Model Designation System of 1935”

To quote from its introduction…
“The numerical designation list of 1935, which was made up to be retroactive to 1916, overlooked many models and is not always chronologically accurate. However, it is ‘Official’ and is published here in its entirety for the first time outside Curtiss documents.”
As you indicate, it does begin with the model 1, the JN-4A and ends with the 99, the XF15C-1.
