This family tree is super nice!

It seems to leave out some older predecessors that are also designated as "PC" models. I believe the first (or one of the first) Sharp "PC" model designations was the Sharp PC-1001, a programmable desk calculator from 1973. The PC-1001 has a Rockwell PPS-4 microprocessor system, one of the first microprocessor systems competing with the 4004. But the PC-8101 was a non-programmable early LED calculator from 1973. I suspect "PC" later became associated with Sharp Pocket Computers, starting with the PC-1200/1201 according to the family tree. But like the PC-1001, the PC-1200 and PC-1300(S) are not BASIC programmables.
