The present study is both a reanalysis and an extension of the approach initiated by S. Eremin and S. Voloshin [Phys. Rev. C, 67, 064905 (2003)]. We attempt to interpret here the rapidity spectra of the various particles produced in both Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions at SPS-CERN (Super Proton Synchrotron at Conseil Europ'een pour la Recherche Nucl'eaire) and RHIC-BNL (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory). The study made here is wider in scope and is more species specific than earlier ones, and the results obtained here are compared with those found in previous works based on HIJING, VENUS, etc., at various centralities. The study reconfirms that the constituent parton picture of the particles provides a better and more unified description of the rapidity-density yields for the various secondaries, including some light cluster particles such as deuteron, even in heavy ion collisions.
