You might want to look for an old copy of Avilon Hill's game Firepower. The index and squad, platoon, and possibly company listings of everything from Biaffrian insurgents in 1960 to Iranian Islamic human wave troops from 1988 and everything in between. Actualy I hated the game but the organizational info was great. I know it goes pretty cheeply on E-bay or if you'd rather I might be able to find it in my storage unit next weekend.
I'll also try to find my copy of Air Cav. It has lots of company info on NATO/Warsaw Pact troops from the late 80s-1990s. I will copy them and send it to you.
