AFAIK, no one has done anything like that for Craftsman. For woodworking tools I have found that you usually have to do the research yourself.
Here are some catalog resources I use:

Oldtoolheaven is a wonderful resource. Randy was really into it some time back, have not heard from him lately as he was sourcing better and better info.
Since so much Craftsman was outsourced from different people over the years, you really need to look at the source maker.
I did a comparison of planes labeled Craftsman made by Sargent and Millers Falls here. Not as nice as Randy’s work.

There is a thread looking at hand drills that I’ve dumped a few things in, will update with the link here later.
Edit: Oh wait, you started it.

Egg beater drills
Thought i would start a discussion about egg beaters. This is my first one. It’s dirty and a touch of rust, but works smoothly. The only stamp i can see at the moment is “Made in USA”. .

Funny.
Reason i ask, i have an egg beater drill clearly marked craftsman 1071 or more correctly 107.1 but the ”.” is very faint. Anyway, i found a posting about it, and the person said his looks just like a MF model-something with the spoked wheel. Fine … but mine doesn't have a spoked wheel, and the body is different.

Here is the Craftsman OEM list, and 107 is Millers Falls
Will look at your other one.
