Astronomical Journal, Vol. 107, No. 6, pp. 2101-2107 (June 1994) [ADS: 1994AJ....107.2101S]. The appendix shows 6 presumably new cluster candidates. No. 4 (Fig. 6d) has been suspected a globular cluster candidate.

The reference Saurer et.al. (1994) treats open cluster Berkeley 93, and in its appendix, shows the 6 clusters now called "Saurer", "[SSWZ94]", or "[SSW94]" either numbered 1..6, or labelled a..f. Here is a short table identifying them (including Berkeley 93, with links to SIMBAD):
