Will it be legitimate, after the upcoming Grant Morrison "Multiversity" issues begin hitting the stores in August, to start adding Earth-10 and Earth-Five tags under "Locations:" in the pages of these many golden-age issues published, respectively, by Quality and Fawcett? No

Again: Morrisin's Multiversity looks like it is either going to revisit Earth-5 and Earth-10 or introduce a new version. A case similar to how Earth 2 is neither Earth-2 nor Earth-Two. We won;t know until the issues come out. But if they are Earth-5 and Earth-10 or Earth 5 and Earth 10, they still are not the setting for the golden-age stories.
 * The majority of the Quality golden age issues are "Quality Universe"
 * Earth-X is a unique pre-Crisis universe that mirrored Quality Universe up to c.1944. At least up until Thomas retconned the vast bulk of the characters as having originated on Earth-Two
 * Earth-S is where DC assigned the Fawcett golden-age stories. It existed right up to Crisis.
 * Earth-Five is a pre-Crisis version of the "main" sequence with Earth-One, Earth-Two, and Earth-Three. It's DC characters skewed 20 years later than Earth-One. It's not related to Fawcett.
 * The New Earth versions of the characters are a mixed bag. Some of may be the acquired characters, some definitely aren't.
 * Earth-5 is modeled after Earth-S, it is not Earth-S. Trying to place the golden-age Fawcette stories there is fanwank.
 * Earth-10 is modeled after Earth-X, it is not Earth-X, nor is it the Quality Universe. Trying to place the golden-age Quality stories there is an even worse case fanwank.
