I buy all my sand on Mouser and They say that for example On/Fairchild BC556BTA grade has a measure of HFE/450.
I have around 200 eas on my warehouse I need some time for measure some units but I guess that they don't lie... or this I would like to believe.
Edit: I'm seeing that I have some KSA992FTA/KSC1845FTA but yes, Pars is right; It's a shame they have different pinout.
