I would have thought, if you can determine it *without* resorting to a study 
of the VSS SDK headers, by a purely trial and error approach, then that would 
be a perfectly legitimate way to derive the information you need for a free 
header; it is, after all, the approach we adopt to fill in the blanks, when 
the MSDN info is either incomplete, or inaccurate.

I do wonder if the difference in order you see, wrt what MSDN leads you to 
expect, may be because the vtable structure, and hence ordering, may very 
well differ between MSVC and MinGW?
