Ultimate / Most Puncture-Proof Tyres / Tires
It appears that I should have expanded the Anti-Puncture Tyres lists to include other tyres, that didn't necessarily come in the standard, for road bikes, 700x23c size.
Here are the best that I can find. Data taken from this forum's recommendations, and tests/reviews elsewhere, plus one's own research.
Many of the tyres are of standard construction, but a few are either tubeless/solid, or are manufactured from a relatively new technology.
