Identify delisted historic instruments

I'm attempting to verify whether an equity has been delisted (and if not, find the appropriate RIC.)

Here's my request:

var extractionRequest = new TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest
{
IdentifierList = InstrumentIdentifierList.Create(instrumentIdentifiers, new InstrumentValidationOptions { AllowHistoricalInstruments = true, UseExchangeCodeInsteadOfLipper = true }, false),
ContentFieldNames = new[] { "RIC" , "Trading Status" },
};

Sample instrument: IdentifierType: SEDOL / Identifier: BDTYZ53

I get an ExtractionRow back for the instrument with nulls for both RIC and Trading Status. I understand that it is delisted. Is it possible to get a value for Trading Status back?

    I can use HistoricalReferenceExtractionRequest with the Extractions/Extract endpoint to get "Trading Status" of BDTYZ53. The request message is:

    {
    "ExtractionRequest": {
    "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.HistoricalReferenceExtractionRequest",
    "ContentFieldNames": [
    "Instrument ID",
    "Change Date",
    "RIC",
    "Trading Status"
    ],
    "IdentifierList": {
    "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
    "InstrumentIdentifiers": [
    {
    "Identifier": "BDTYZ53",
    "IdentifierType": "Sedol"
    }

    ],
    "ValidationOptions": {
    "AllowHistoricalInstruments": true},
    "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions": false
    },
    "Condition": {
    "StartDate": "2018-04-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "EndDate": "2018-04-09T23:59:59.000Z"
    }
    }
    }

    The response is:

     {
    "IdentifierType": "Sedol",
    "Identifier": "BDTYZ53",
    "Instrument ID": "BDTYZ53",
    "Change Date": "2018-01-01",
    "RIC": "BIVV.A",
    "Trading Status": 1
    },
    {
    "IdentifierType": "Sedol",
    "Identifier": "BDTYZ53",
    "Instrument ID": "BDTYZ53",
    "Change Date": "2018-03-09",
    "RIC": "BIVV.A^C18",
    "Trading Status": 0
    },
    {
    "IdentifierType": "Sedol",
    "Identifier": "BDTYZ53",
    "Instrument ID": "BDTYZ53",
    "Change Date": "2018-03-12",
    "RIC": "BIVV.A^C18",
    "Trading Status": 0
    },
