93!
Actually, I should have called this "Liber Resh and the GD Grade Signs."  But 
I'm sure you and everyone else will get the general drift.
*BD> The two versions I was speaking of are:
*BD>
*BD> Kraig's version (using the Elemental Attributions as in the LBRP):
*BD>
*BD>     Golden Dawn Grade  Element  God-form           Direction
*BD>
*BD>     Theoricus   2=9    Air      Shu                East
*BD>     Philosophus 4=7    Fire     Thoum-aesch-neith  South
*BD>     Practicus   3=8    Water    Auramoth           West
*BD>     Zelator     1=10   Earth    Set                North
*BD>
*BD> Crowley's (O.T.O) version (intersection of Samekh/Peh):
Actually, it'a an A,',A,', ritual that is popular in the O.T.O.
*BD>     Sephirah   God-form           Direction
*BD>
*BD>     Tiphareth  Ra                 East
*BD>     Netzach    Thoum-aesch-neith  South
*BD>     Yesod      Shu                West
*BD>     Hod        Auramoth           North
*BD>
*BD> Which is strange, because the Noon Adoration uses the same Sign in
*BD> either case, the Dawn Adoration Sign in the first is the same as the
*BD> Sunset Adoration in the second, the Sign of Sunset in the first is the
*BD> Midnight Sign of the Second, and both contain one Sign each that the
*BD> other doesn't use.
Well, as you rightly observed, Kraig's version uses the elemental assignments 
of the LBRP, as that made sense to him, and he seems to have done it without 
blowing off his fingers (astrally speaking).  However, remember that Crowley 
used the signs of the GD/A,',A,', grades of the respective sephiroth, and 
that Netzach is a Root of Fire, Yesod a Root of Air, and Hod a Root of Water. 
The elemental assignments of a given operation, if any, depend on what the 
operation is supposed to do.  While it may be confusing at first -- and even 
at second, third, and so on -- the different assignments of differen rituals 
are not arbitrary, and will eventually make sense to anyone determined to 
find the answers.
