Each set of Portfolio ROMs supports three keyboard and text languages. There were four language versions.

EFG        English, French & German
EIS          English, Italian & Spanish
ESD        English, Swedish & Danish
ESS         English, Swiss French & Swiss German

There were four official releases of the Portfolio ROMs: 1.030, 1.052, 1.072 and 1.13X. The X in 1.13X identified the languages, 1.130 was EFG, 1.131 was EIS, etc.

So 16 ROM variants in total.

EFG 1.030     EIS 1.030   ESD 1.030   ESS 1.030
Common      EIS 1.052   ESD 1.052   ESS 1.052
Common      EIS 1.072   ESD 1.072   ESS 1.072
EFG 1.130    EIS 1.131   ESD 1.132   ESS 1.133

Most of us will have EFG 1.072. It is very common. EFG 1.052 is also common.

If you have a Portfolio with a set of ROMs that is in the list above, can you share this information?

If you are interested in learning more about the ROMs in your Portfolio, I've attached a small memory dump utility, MDMP.COM. This accepts the following parameters. They are upper case with a 0 (zero) at the end:

ROMC0          - Dump of 0C0000h to 0CFFFFh
ROMD0          - Dump of 0D0000h to 0DFFFFh
ROME0          - Dump of 0E0000h to 0EFFFFh
ROMF0          - Dump of 0F0000h to 0FFFFFh

e.g. MDMP ROMF0 will dump the top 64 KB into a file called ROMF0.

This allows you to dump the entire 256 KB of the ROM in 4 parts, to make it easier to transfer.

Plus it can dump an Expansion ROM, if anyone has a peripheral with one in it.
EXPC0      - The first 64 KB of any expansion ROM

It can also dump a memory card if you are interested:
CCMC0      - The first 64 KB of the card A:

MDMP.COM makes some Int 61h calls, and may not work on a normal PC. If you get a “Disk is full” error, the image will be partially created. A valid image is always 65536 bytes long.

Have you or someone else deleted the ROM dump, which where uploaded?

I uploaded some ROM images, but noticed that  Atari still owns the Intellectual Property: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1e-tl9Oqwnr78879Lnne_uhlsGkPWFK_z428ZmUaJjog/edit?pli=1#slide=id.g2ff92e3406f_0

Even after all this time Atari might have a concern. So I removed the images. I’ve asked Atari's Legal Dept to clarify their position.
