Perhaps 

Different Versions of the Dayhoff Rate Matrix
Authors: Carolin Kosiol; Nick Goldman
Source: Molecular Biology and Evolution, February 2005, vol. 22,
	no. 2, pp. 193-199(7)
Publisher: Oxford University Press

would help?

Otherwise you could go back to Dayhoff's 1979 paper to get the
original rate matrix.
