Of those that we haven't met, the only country that's been in the European group stages for a long time would appear to be Greece, no? The rest are all ex-Yugoslavia or Soviet break-away states.

that's correct.

Greece are the only long-stager that we haven't been drawn against.

Finland - not drawn them since the 1950 World Cup
Sweden - not drawn them since the 1972 European Championships.
