Roger -
You asked this question a long time ago, so maybe you've found an answer already. I don't have a Super Graphic, but the Graflex Optar lens that came on my Crown Graphic wore a Series VI hood attached with a 1.5 inch/38mm adapter ring.
This particular hood doesn't offer a lot of shade, but I tried a Series VII step up ring and a Series VII hood and got some dark corners on the negative (not visible on the ground glass, though.)
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Kip
