The universal Lachlan semilattice without the greatest element

We deal with some upper semilattices of m-degrees and of numberings of finite families. It is proved that the semilattice of all c.e. m-degrees, from which the greatest element is removed, is isomorphic to the semilattice of simple m-degrees, the semilattice of hypersimple m-degrees, and the semilattice of Σ ₂ ⁰ -computable numberings of a finite family of Σ ₂ ⁰ -sets, which contains more than one element and does not contain elements that are comparable w.r.t. inclusion.
