Stable SIDs for "None"+'"Administrator" ?

Hi!
----
Does anyone know a list of SIDs which can be used to get the
user+group accounts for passwd entry "Adminstrator" and group entry
"None" ?
Our problem is that the actual account names vary with the system
locale, e.g. group entry "None" is "Kein" in "de_DE", "Aucun" in
fr_FR etc. ...
... so far we thought we fixed this by doing a lookup via SID, and
then remembering the localised name.
But: The SIDs are apparently not stable between Windows versions.
For example:
---- snip ----
# Windows Server 2022/en
$ getent group None
None:S-1-5-21-168624908-967194555-3343779530-513:197121:
# Windows Server 2019
$ getent group None
None:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-513:197121
---- snip ----
And if there is no such list, would $ mkgroup | egrep
':S-1-5-21-.+-513:' # be a suitable workaround ?

Bye,
Roland
