listing contents of ONLY a specific archive (.TIB file)

Thread needs solution

Is there any way to explore or simply list the contents of only 1 archive without mounting and getting the "most current view" that includes all backups prior to that file?

I am trying to map the space consumption of my backups to fine tune the space usage by excluding superfluous files from my backup plan. In order to do this, I need to find out exactly what files are included in specific backups to see what was included, and what can potentially be removed.

The problem is, I can't seem to see the contents of just one specific file. When I mount the selected archive, ABR11.5 seems to create the logical mount as a mash-up of the most recent versions that are available by spanning multiple archives to show the latest available backup.

Here's an example of the backups I have, what's in them, what I see when I mount, and what I really need to see
=================
Archive from Jan 1st:
-------------------------
New file A
New file B
New file C

=================
Archive from Jan 7th:
-------------------------
Changed file A
Changed file B
Changed file C
New file D

=================
Archive from Jan 14th:
-------------------------
New file E
New file F

=====================================
When I mount Jan 14th archive, I see as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------
File A (as-of Jan 7th)
File B (as-of Jan 7th)
File C (as-of Jan 7th)
File D (as-of Jan 7th)
File E (as-of Jan 14th)
File F (as-of Jan 14th)

=====================================
When I mount Jan 14th archive, what I **WANT** to see:
------------------------------------------------------------------
New file E
New file F

To my best knowledge, it's impossible to view only files included in the last (or other specific) backup. The best you can do is perform full cataloging and find the files withing specific range of modification date - but this may as well not work if it was a disk backup of file backup without 'fast incremental' option and file was included in backup while its modification date was not changed.
