One small clue - HIGHLAND CHIEF is 5-5B X 142-4A.

I couldn't find anything else from Gibson with 5-5b, but 142-4A is in
SMOKE RINGS- S. smoky orchid veining on cream and mauve; F. smoky orchid and mauve rim on creamy ground; yellow beard; ruffled. 30-5B: (35-1 PB1A: (23-4B x Rococo) x April Melody)) X 142-4A: (86-2PF x 2-2 PL).
Nothing else from Gibson with 2-2 PL, but a couple without the space (2-2PL), and some 2-2PLB.
A self and several bicolors? registered from Highland Chief. Interesting color range, hard to tell from some of the descriptions what they look like. Didn't check encyclopedia etc for pix.

I was told, by reputed hybridizers, that this is common in plicata and
amoena crosses. Both irises have seedlings as parentage with no known
cultivars as parents. How can we know what the contributions of
'Highland Chief?'
