I think Chuck might have the answer that you're looking for.
People seem to think that Saxhorn only refers to the Eb, and BBb basses. They forget that there was (originally), Eb Soprano, Bb Soprano, Eb Alto, Bb Tenor and Bb Baritone (I have also read of EEb Contrabass, but not seen any pics). I believe that the Eb sopranos would be like having a Flugelhorn in Eb, and the Bb like a regular Flugelhorn, Eb alto like a modern Eb Alto, Tenor would be more like a modern british Bb Baritone, and the Baritone more like a Bb Euphonium (only for an idea of shape, I figure the sound would probably be a bit different)
