REN For Western Electric Products?

I understand the "ringer equivalance" value is based on the WE 500 set
which is defined as 1.

Would anyone know what the REN is for certain other WE products such
as:

1) 302/354 sets. (The "art deco" telephone set developed in 1938, was
the first to have the ringer within the set.)

2) Older wall mounted "bell boxes" used for 202 and earlier sets.

3) The "Bell Chime", an extension ringer that has several settings on
it. Can sould like a regular phone, a doorbell chime, or a very loud
bell.

4) A more modern WE extension ringer which is a small gray box,
roughly 3x6x2 inches.

5) An outdoor ringer. These had two exposed gongs, usually painted
gray or black. Used outside or in big rooms like gyms where an extra
loud ringer was needed.

6) Trimline and Princess telephone sets, which used a more compact
ringer to fit into the small base.

Thanks!
