ISO: 8 Speed Dura Ace Bar End Shifters

Looking for Dura Ace 8 speed bar end shifters to work with 7402/7403 8 speed setup. Not sure if these even existed back in the day. I have seen 8 speed Ultegra bar ends but it appears they are not compatible with the Dura Ace rear derailleur. I am also interested in determining whether 9 speed Dura Ace bar end shifters will work with this 8 speed drive train. I have seen that in a couple of places online and I would like to get some confirmation of that here and maybe some details about how the 9 speed shifters work with the 8 speed read derailleur. Whether it's just a matter of setting the limits properly on the RD with one wasted gear space on the shifters or something else. Has anyone got any experience with any of this? Thanks in advance for any information.
