I found screenshots of at least 3 beta builds of Windows 95 in the series. I was going to post these in that thread but it got ignored.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem any of them are new builds; but still, here's what I found so far:
Windows Chicago Alpha:
These are the first Chicago screenshots I found in the series scans. Judging by the fact there is no dash [-] button on the top left corner of the windows in the right screenshot, I think it's probably at or aroundbuild 81, but I could be wrong.
Windows 95 Beta 1:
Probably not 99; 99 does not have the beta release notes icon on the desktop by default. Unless they meticulously added in the icon, then I'd say 122 or some other beta 1 build like 116.
The next two articles are quite comprehensive, so be warned:
Windows 95 Beta 2:
You may be asking how I determined this was beta 2. Well, in build 346/7 beta 3 of Windows 95 beta Spanish, the start menu text is Inicio:
However, in these screenshots, the start menu text is Iniciar, which is seen in build 222 Spanish beta 2:
Therefore, I'm leaning towards the side of it being a beta 2 build. However this is just my own guess based on leaked builds; feel free to ignore or correct me.
Windows 95 Final:
No comments. This stuff is too long to translate and I scaled down the images so the image uploader can handle them. If you can make anything interesting from this, just share here.
While this is interesting, I could not find any unleaked Chicago screenshots like I said and I couldn't find any build 58s, 189, etc. material. However 58s and 189 screenshots are featured in the Windows 3.1 build 34f thread by DeFacto/Overdoze:

If you have any other scans of magazines with Chicago screenshots and/or information in them, I'd be proud to see them.
