Regarding a .22 RF extra long? I haven't heard of it.

There was .22 RF shorts.
The standard now .22 RF Long Rifle.
An inbetween .22 RF Long.

.22 extra long by RWS, 20 mm copper case, probably pre-WW1
.22 WMR

You forgot the .22 WRF. Stands Winchester Rim Fire. It had the same case size as the WMR, but a bit shorter. It also shot an inside lubricated lead bullet, same "style" as modern cast bullets and at a velocity of 1,445fps.
As well there was an obscure oversized .22 Winchester "Auto", which had a case a little shorter than the long rifle, but also fatter. It shot, I think, the same bullet as the .22 WRF, but at about 1,050fps. IIRC, it was chambered in a Winchester Semi Auto rifle similar to the .405 and .351 centre fires.
