I would like to announce that FINA has just implemented a database of Masters Top10 Lists and Masters World Records.
The Masters Top 10 data can be accessed by Individual or Relay, Short or Long Course, Year, Gender, Age Group, and Swim Event. We have loaded all World Top10's from 1986 to 2006. There is also a "All Time" Top10 feature.
The Masters World Records can be accessed by Individual or Relay, Short or Long Course, As of Date, Gender, Age Group and Swim Event. This will give you a list of all the published record holders for the selected event. The records from 1985 to 2007 have been loaded. There is also a feature to view the published records for all events as of a specific date.
These new features are available by going to the FINA Web site at fina.org selecting the MASTERS page then either the Tabulations or Records.
So give it a try and I hope you enjoy the viewing.

Jeff,
Each year the FINA Masters Top10 is built from Top10 lists submitted from member federations. Not all federations submit Top10 lists so that is why a swimmer can have a record but that swim is not listed in the World Top10. The swim you mentioned was not listed in that years Top10 as Austria did not submit a Top10
