How do you find comparables for 2009 in Bloomberg?

We are researching the Bucyrus and Caterpillar merger and looking for comparable companies multiples, but from 2009. Does Bloomberg have this data? Also, is it possible to find comparables for Bucyrus, even though they were acquired? The screen essentially says, refer to Caterpillar.

Do you not have access to MergerMarket? Best place for tnx comparables hands down. Very rare that you're going to find tnx comparables that land in the exact year of the one you're researching, so be open to similar tnx that happened in the years before and after.

For Bucyrus comparables (for the company itself, not the transaction), you can just do a search in CIQ (look at historical data instead of current data). Same for Caterpillar or any other company. Am I missing something here?
