I'll make an educated guess for the setup, since I don't have the resources to conduct a detailed search. :-)

White: Ka8, Be8, Nj2
Black: Kc8

Of course, the mirror image positions should be considered equivalent:

White: Ka1, Be1, Nj7
Black: Kc1

White: Kj1, Bf1, Na7
Black: Kh1

White: Kj8, Bf8, Na2
Black: Kh8

Okay, I had my guess early, but to put some positions on it:

White: Ka1, Ba2, Nb1
Black: Kj8
Black King has many posible locations but generally in that diagonally opposite corner.
