Chet Ramey listed some in his mail, I've tried:

ash,  ksh93 and pdksh when invoked with the name "sh", /bin/sh and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh under sunOS 5.8

They all behave like bash when started with the name "sh"

CDPATH is documented in sh, so there is no reason not to use it,  but
so far the only "sh"  I found that cd to a subdir in the current path
when CDPATH is set  is  zsh when started with the name "sh".
