Dudley Combo Locks

How do you crack Dudley combo locks? I found a couple of Dudley combo locks that I used to use, not really old at all, and I'd like to use them again but I forget the combos.
Trying to crack them like you would a MasterLock, I've noticed that the Dudley locks seem to always have 10 notches where the dial stops between two number, never right on, and when i right them down there is a pattern. If I write down the 1's column digit for the number to the left of the notch, for notches 1-5, the number repeat for notches 6-10. Exact same thing goes if I follow the above instruction for the number to the right of the notch. Does this pattern help crack the combo?

I've discovered something else today.

If you look at the two series of digits that get repeated, together they always make up the numbers 0-9 without repeating.

I haven't tried to pick a Dudley lock yet but I'm going to try one if I win this one 1920's one on ebay. I have however picked a Junkunc Combo lock with a patent date from 1912. That was pretty cool. Anyway I suppose more modern locks are harder to pick...anyone have experience with antique combination locks?
