How to tell who made a stock and who made a couple bayo lugs?

Is there a list/description/photo record to show where laminated stocks were at least possibly made when the waffenampts are either unreadable or gone? I have several stocks that I think might be one thing, but see others say they are something else. Can you tell by size of take-down disc, etc. I also have one stock unmarked with a jfo or something like that in the channel, nothing else. Just want to try to put the right stock on some rifles I have/am restoring if possible.

I also have a stock that was duffle cut and has a serial # and waa in the channel, but I can't make it out, could I use a transfer paper maybe to make a tracing of it? Again, nothing on the right side to id it and it hasn't been sanded. PS - if you have a laminated stock end piece, I can use it!

Also, anyone know who made a bayo lug, waa519(I believe)? - I have two, one has a small circle, the other a small triangle mark, no serial #s, I thought a possible subcontractor for bcd or dot rifles. Thanks for your input and setting me straight.

Personally I can usually tell from a good photo on late war stocks, but some mid war stocks are hard to nail down. This is especially true when some makers use subcontracted stocks.
