I believe that I am aware of all of the things you mention but I can't find
a way to track back beyond the current build, the only one marked as
"parallel_build", and the prior build which is tagged "Latest build" in the
header and highlighted in yellow. If I want to look at the second latest, I
have no idea how I can find it.

If I look at the list for  beey16 at
http://beefy16.nyi.freebsd.org/jail.html?mastername=130amd64-default, I get
a list of builds that include no clue as to ordering. No start time or any
way to look up a particular build unless I have recorded the hash while the
build was in progress.

Thanks for your reply, Mark.
