Beavis and Butt-Head Animation Studios

One of the questions that has puzzled me ever since I learned that TV animation is usually sent overseas is "Which animation studios handled Beavis and Butt-Head"
Based on some research I did from looking at the credits sequences of Beavis and Butthead, there seem to have been two primary animation studios; J.J. Sedelmaier Productions (For Seasons 1 and 2), and Rough Draft (for Season 3 and beyond).

However, the animation quality of the first 8 episodes or so of Season 3 sort of wavers between the crudeness of the first two seasons and the slickness of the rest of the show's run. This implies that the transition between J.J. Sedelmaier and Rough Draft was gradual. One Season 3 episode credits Funbag Animation Studios with layouts, who aren't credited for such on any other episodes I've seen.

This is a long shot, but does anyone have access to credits for the first 10 Season 3 Beavis and Butt-Head episodes and can read off what those credits say for animation?
 
Another overseas studio credited with "Beavis and Butt-Head" is Plus One Animation, also in Korea.

Don't know what episodes they worked on.
 
Wikipedia (FWIW) credits Plus One for animation for Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. And according to Speedy's animation guide, they were with King of the Hill since the first season. Based on that, I'd guess they did animation for the final seasons.
 
Funbag also worked on The Simpsons in its earlier seasons. It's based in Canada.

Not surprisingly, as KOTH had much the same look as B&B, only more refined, Mike Judge chose to use the same studios for it (plus Yeson, which was added in season 3). More interestingly, KOTH stopped using Rough Draft after season 5, and outside of a couple by Anivision, rabroad, and Y.R., it pretty much has alternated between Plus One and Yeson ever since, similar to how Simpsons alternates between RD and Akom. Why Rough Draft was dropped, I'm not sure.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question about the first 10 season 3 episodes of B&B.
