Not to step on anyones toes, but this is what the original Ford lit says about the Explorers. It's possible however the changes in year could be a factor here.
All the best,

"For a limited time only! Special Ford Pickups with special money saving discounts on a choice of popular features and options, includig cruise-O-Matic, power steering and air conditioning."
[b]"Come save real money on a package deal at you ford dealer now. "[b]

The last line of your states > More Money for more things <
So, Yes for a premium they are available,just like any other truck.
However The options are options, not part of the Explorer trim package.
I repeat, Options are options.
They are not standard explorer package items.
The list I posted is my original window sticker when I bought my truck off the lot in 78.
Your package A is correct for the Explorer.
A/C (is an option),
Cruise (an option)
Tinted glass can be part of the Special Groups available,
Ie:Appearance Group
It's all in the way the words are interpreted.
The phrase you posted from the brochure means,
You can have these other things (Options) in your Explorer for a discounted price from the usual price.

I get what your saying now. Yes, I had a blond moment. 
Package A $115
Package B $150
Package C $375
Package D $600
Package A makes it the "Explorer" and the other Packages are optional on the "Explorer", I think I got it now. I hope
