Here's my play:

New Earth - Current LSH.
Earth-1(One) - Lightning Saga Legion (assuming Earth-1 is Earth-One)
Earth-2 - Saturn Girl/Cosmic Boy/Lightning Lad, basically the same.
Most other names used, but indentities different, powers and costumes
changed.
Earth-3 - Evil Legion, obviously.
Earth-4 - Inspired by Captain Atom, who join them after one of his
time-leaps. Mostly non-powered high-tech heroes, no direct
relationship to normal LSH.
Earth-5 - Inspired by Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jnr and Mary
Marvel part time members. If the Hal Jordan Green Lantern is anything
to go by all the rest are carbon copies of regular LSH.
Earth-6 - Mostly unknown, except, Cosmic Boy later gets Rock powers
and calls himself The Rokk.
Earth-7 - Mostly unknown, but Star Boy is pretty much Star Boy.
Angor - Future versions of the Champions of Angor. Set in 2099.
Earth-9 - All the LSH names are there... but completely different
characters.
Earth-10 - Nazis still? Nah, that's silly. Corporations run the
world. Brande's Legion of Corporate Heroes are bad guys. The
Freemarket Fighters are heroes.
Earth-11 - The gender reverse cliche.
Earth-12 - The LSH as they appeared in the old animated series. Or
not. It's hard to say.
Earth-13 - The Vertigo LSH. Or Vertigo-ish. Or something.
Earth-14 - It's better not to discuss this.
Earth-15 - Imagine a UP without Earth or Earth colonies.
Earth-16 - LSH: The Next Generation. Not Star Trek, rather the kids
of the LSH.
Earth-17 - LSH in a restablish Earth. 30th C, 20th C technology.
Earth-18 - Sort of LSH meets Firefly/Serenity. But better than that
sounds.
Earth-19 - The LSH start before the UP. Sub-light travel... tech just
that touch less.
Earth-21 - A cleaner clearer version of the original LSH.
Earth-22 - The LSH shown in that one panel of Kingdom Come. Basically
the Post-Zero Legion.
Earth-30 - Utopian Communist Dream. With a LSH.
Earth-31 - "We're the Goddamn LSH". Milleresk LSH... the horror. The
horror.
Earth-32 - The Legion of Green Lanterns.
Earth-33 - Magic LSH. Image Mordu as the main villain.
Earth-34 - LSH, Earth capital Themiscyra.
Earth-37 - Mostly unknown, but stupidly, Wildfire is merged with, umm,
let's say Sunboy.
Earth-39 - Mostly unknown, but Sunboy is leader of something.
Earth-40 - Earth-2 Legion with cool militaristic uniforms instead of
tights. Inspired by powered up The Bat.
Earth-43 - LSH with more supernatural elements?
Earth-48 - No Earth-related heroes, but an abandoned Earth as the
centre of the UP.
Earth-50 - Those villains from The Authority that destoryed buildings
just after September 11.

Gosh, I hope so. The joke to lenght ratio was a little off though.

See, now I'm actually picturing it.

Strangely, I'm seeing Saturn Girl saying it...

Who is everyone else seeing?

I felt that was a week one... then again it just came together rather
than having to be thought about.

The worst thing is that some of ideas, done by good writers, I could
really enjoy.

Everyone, however, is really a trainwreck waiting to happen.

Earth-14 - It's better not to discuss this.
Earth-14 isn't mentioned on Wikipeda's "List of DC Multiverse worlds"
(well, not as part of the 52, the pre-IC one with the butterfly is), and
I don't remember what it is, so this flew straight past me.

While your idea makes more sense, I'd prefer to see a "steampunk" Legion,
in a galaxy based on a 19th century idea of what the future would be
like. Lots of Jules Verne spaceships with brass controls, Brainiac 5 (or
4) constantly adjusting the cogwheels of Difference-Engineo, and so on.

Earth-26 - The Legion of Super Animals. I'm sure someone, somewhere has
already worked out names and species for all the characters. Inspired by
the legend of Super Squirrel-Kit.

To the best of my knowledge it hasn't been assigned yet. That was the
joke.

Yeah, I like the idea, I don't see it as the natural progression, but
it's much more fun.

I avoided it due to fact that it's uninhabitable.

I was thinking that they'd be called "The Legion of Super-Herrings."

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
