It's important to learn that some of the constants for Lambert
Conformal Conic are not correct in various sources, but the intent of
my posting was to ask those better versed in numerical matters on
this list than I am, which of the methods for which I gave references
give the most accurate results in those cases where I have no
"official" formulae like I do in the case of France, but where I do
have official values for the parallels of latitude, false Eastings
and Northings and the ellipse.
For France, in order to get the same results within the limits of
floating point accuracy, I must use the maths supplied by the IGN.
However, for places where I've not found such official formulae,
perhaps one of the other formulae in the references I cited have the
lowest average error out at the projection limits.
