1968
Aug 28 Joe Medel Inglewood, CA W 10
Dec 6 Chucho Castillo Los Angeles W 15

(Retains World Bantamweight Title)

1969
Jun 10 Ernie Cruz Honolulu W 10
Aug 22 Ruben Olivares Los Angeles KO by 5

I have Lionel`s fights versus Chucho Castillo and Ruben Olivares, but as for the the other fights you mentioned, I have never seen them on any lists. I can make a few inquirys about the Medel and Cruz fights for you, but do you know wether or not those fights were even filmed?
