Are all links created equal?

I have a few SS models with oyster bracelets. I had the bracelets resized and a few of the links were removed and thrown into their own bag. I want to restore one of the watches to their full links but looking at each bag of extra links I'm not sure which links go to which watch. Unfortunately I didn't label the bags. Are they all the same links? I'm trying to distinguish the links among the following - 16234, 16570, 16710 and 14060. Thanks!

Bracelets 78360 (for 16234) and 78790/78790A (for 16710 and 16570) use the same additional link reference 32-20684.

93150 (for 14060) uses another reference 32-20738.

If there is a dimensional difference between 32-20684 and 32-20738 + you had same number of links removed from each bracelet, then you can sort them out to their respective watches by process of elimination. There should be twice as many links for the 16710 and 16570 watches - and the odd ones out would be for the 14060.
