That's interesting since no such differences seem to exist in between the plastic (B) and ceramic (BD) versions of the HEF4000 series. The electrical and temperature ratings are identical.
That said, there was allegedly a slightly different LOCMOS family (the HEC series) which also had ceramic packaging and were specified as having a slightly wider temperature range. However I've never seen any of these in the wild and an erstwhile colleague suspected that none were ever actually made.
