Its not such a big deal that we even need a list. But most V2's had it except Luka and Sweet Ann, Big Al's was the weakest.

It was largely absent from V3 vocals so you can expect more to not have it then have it.

V1 never even considered it.

V4 sees it return for some vocals.

Its not really an important phonetic bit of data, since "R" is not used in most English sounds. Its inclusion is mostly for mimicking certain accents or for closer imitation of other European languages. Prima needed it because she sang opera and opera has a lot of languages which need that "R" for. So she and Tonio have it for this reason. Often the Japanese Vocaloids did not have it in their English vocals because they were based on a different enlist, like Miku on Sweet Ann. But the different parts of Vocaloid have splintered over time and now not every studio has the same Dev Kit list.
