Mini-Marvels publication

Yes Fury, I *am* doing this . And, seriously, they mostly work as a chronology - the only major thing to deal with is Clor, who's in the Civil War parody and Thor #600 backup, where Thor-proper can't appear between (except by reordering to minimise that gap), and a Bullpen Bits strip (#60) with human-Beast that's out of order (before #46-47). [The Mini-Marvels Wolverine, Angel & Colossus appearance in the MU during X-Men Unlimited #37 occurs before Bullpen Bits #52, BTW, owing to Wolverine's costume.]
Problem I'm coming up against is finding where all the damn things originally saw print! The Bullpen Bits strips I'm not even trying, I'm just listing those by their numbers (which are on the strips themselves, fulfilling the "If you have the comic..." criterion), since it would mean a horrendous list of =s for each one and obfuscate more than elucidate. The Power Pack backups also saw print all over the place, but the Power Pack printings are the most coherent and where they were apparently commissioned for.
The biggest problem ones for "where did they see print first" are these six:
MAdvSM 14=MAdvFF 11="The Black Cat": Jun 2006
MAdvSM 16 = "The Itch": Aug 2006
MAdvSM 20 "The French Bread": Dec 2006
MAdvSM 22 "Giant Girl": Feb 2007
X:FC 5/2=HFH3 6/2 = MAdvAvengers 4 = "The Couch": Mar 2007
X:FC 6/2 "The Snowman": Apr 2007
Which (a) almost certainly isn't a complete list for ANY of them and (b) I don't know which issues to = and which to ignore. Any aid?
And the other one is pages 13-16 of "Hawkeye and the Beanstalk". (1-4) were in Wolverine & Power Pack #1 and (5-8) in #2... but it was bumped out of #3 to make room for an Oz preview, and only (9-12) were in issue 4. (13-16) exist, they're in the TPBs... but I don't know where the original printing was to list it.
