Type A photometry / IES file

Is anybody familiar with Type A photometry? Mostly used for automotive headlights.
I would really like to receive or find an example of such IES file, because I haven't been able to find one, and there's not much information available for the whole topic.

I've understood that main difference to mostly used type C is the global origin orientation which leads to IES file written differently. Polar axis needs to be "sideways", but so is the origin of the polar, if that makes any sense. Rotating the light alone doesn't help because whole axis system needs to be rotated.

I provide IES files with simulation softwares and I am familiar with editing them manually and understand how they work. I believe I could edit existing type C file to type A if I found an example of how angles and values are listed.
