Having said that, WET and EET are somewhat interesting in that their first transitions are in 1977 - so after the "accuracy watershed" so to speak. That does complicate things somewhat.
I get:
WET
Initially: +00:00:00 standard WET
1977-04-03T01:00:00Z +01:00:00 daylight WEST
1977-09-25T01:00:00Z +00:00:00 standard WET
1978-04-02T01:00:00Z +01:00:00 daylight WEST
…
and:
EET
Initially: +02:00:00 standard EET
1977-04-03T01:00:00Z +03:00:00 daylight EEST
1977-09-25T01:00:00Z +02:00:00 standard EET
1978-04-02T01:00:00Z +03:00:00 daylight EEST
