Multiple superdeformed bands in the nuclei [sup 80-83]Sr,[sup 82-84]Y, and [sup 83.84]Zr have been studied in a backed-target experiment using the Gammasphere and Microball detector arrays. For 15 bands in these nuclei, average transition quadrupole moments (Q[sub t]) have been measured accurately. Among those are two pairs of "isospectral" bands and the Q[sub t] values obtained in each case are nearly identical. The measured Q[sub t] values and dynamical moments of inertia place stringent conditions on configuration assignments for the bands obtained from mean field calculations.
