The original question was from me. The best answer was:

Citing from a news article from Bernhard Sadlowski, Oct 31 1996:

1. no promoted pieces, without promotion moves: 109 white moves (W.Cross 1967)
2. no promoted pieces                         : 144 white moves (J.Ban 1960)
3. with promoted pieces                       : 218 white moves (Dickins 1968)
4. with all 32 pieces                         :  99 white moves (HH.Cross 1946)

(records taken from the book "Maerchenschach" by Anthony Dickins)

1. 5k2/2K5/3N1B2/P1NB4/6Q1/4R3/P1PP1P1P/1R6 w - - 0 1
2. n1r1r1b1/1P1P1P1P/1Q6/3NBNK1/R7/4p1p1/3PBPkP/2R5 w - - 0 1
3. 3Q4/1Q4Q1/4Q3/2Q4R/Q4Q2/3Q4/1Q4Rp/1K1BBNNk w - - 0 1
4. q2Q3r/n6R/kpB1N1K1/p1p1Bppp/1PN3P1/1n1pp1b1/P1PPPP1P/r5Rb w - - 0 1
