Not necessarily, because the models didn't come out in numerical order: the NMS 8250 and 8255 predate the NMS 8245, and so does the NMS 8280. From the way this machine looks, it predates the VG 8235, since it only has 64K RAM (the picture says 192K, so that must be 64K RAM + 128K VRAM) like the 8230. The VG8235 had 128K RAM. So I think the VG8240 was supposed to be a 8230 with the added feature of superimpose. That makes the VG8235 the last of the VGs.
By the way, I do remember that my NMS 8245 always formatted disks labelling them "VG 8245"... |

And hey, wasn't the 8220 an 'NMS' as well?

Yep, the 8220 was also an NMS. It appeared after the 8280 but before the 8245. And I have no idea what the meaning of "VG" is...
