How to Identify Which Intel Stock Coolers are Which?

I have accumulated a selection of Intel stock coolers from the 775 socket forward. Not only that, but they are various sizes of coolers. Does anyone know how to determine the wattage ratings? Maybe a list to check model numbers against? Some have a copper slug, some not. Some are tall, some are short. But they are all the same basic design.

IMHO, I'd suggest sticking the stock coolers against their bundled counterpart/processor to gain TDP ratings. This isn't the entire story since there are variations of coolers that came bundled with the 775 platform alone where some came with copper slugs that increased the heat dissipation. I've got to notice that the E6750's stock cooler that had the aforementioned copper slug performed much favorably with a change in TIM and if given better airflow, would yield better results.
