Awesome research, would love to be able to do that. Some things that came to mind: I like that some of the block types are "acronyms" of their meanings: 5 = S(pace man), B = B(-tree), C = C(heckpoint). Also, I wonder why the volume superblock magic is "APSB", while the root (container) magic is "NXSB"; maybe this refers to NextStep? Seems a bit anachronistic, but I don't know.

Apple superblock, and next superblock (meaning "the next superblock", not nextstep).

It's not hard to do, it just takes some time ;) I realized B = B-tree and C = Checkpoint, but I missed 5 = Spaceman. Good idea!
