Here's 2004; it was 884s that year as well.

884's were introduced in 2003, before that they used 883's (those were first introduced in 1999).
Here is the KOP list for 2002 showing the 883's.

Question about the limits on items: are we limited to 2 of an item per round or overall? Such as if we got two ring lights as part of round 1, could we get two more in round 2?

It will tell you when you try to select it.
If it lets you add it to your priority list, then you should be good to go.
