Here are views of the covers of the 1970 Owners Manual and the Parts Manual.  Thanks go to Todd for the color copy of the Owner's Manual!!

Both list the available models and their actual Model Numbers.

c
opies of these are available by email if anyone could use or would like  to have one.  They're not the best, but they're better than none!!
This photo is a Safari 295.  It is currently the only photo I have found of a Safari 295.  This one belongs to Caleb from Hudon, MI.  Thanks Caleb!  Looking forward to more pics!
I found these photos below on ebay.  They are of a Safari 309W.  The W in the model number indicated a "Wide Track" model.  The standard track width on Wheel Horse Safari snowmobiles was 15 inches, but the Wide Track models used an astounding 22 inch track.  You may notice that the grill and headlights are wider, but you can really notice how skinny the seat looks above that 22 inch track.
I also found these photos on ebay.  This is a fully restored Safari 335.  This was the largest of the single cylinder motor sleds that Wheel Horse made.  Some people say the Kohler motor in these sleds was rare... but who knows for sure.  Whoever restored this unit did what appears to be an awesome job.  It does look like they only managed to come up with right side decals though... the ones on the left should be opposite directionals.
These photos were sent in by Dan and Betty Pickenpaugh.  This Safari 399 is in great shape and can be seen in their museum in Elizabeth, Colorado.  Thanks Dan & Betty!!
