I have bought 14 slot 1 processors but without the cartridge.
10 are identified by a label but I don't know how to identify these 4.
I don't know if there is any reference that identifies them.
If you need a better quality photo of any area, I will upload it.
Several of them have broken or torn capacitors. This is what usually happens in these cases but they are cheap and I think they can be repaired

At least, I would like to know if they are Pentium II, Pentium III or Celeron.
Thank you an regards.

You mean the s-spec? Happened to me and I couldn't figure out a solution. There was a topic here with the same problem and they tried to read the QR code on the chip but it ultimately failed.

I often saw batches without a h/s as they are bulky. Some are huge, mostly the fanless ones.

I cannot offered better quality. The following is the best of my camera.
The two red stickers were put by me to replace or add the capacitors.

Maybe I have problems with the camera.
Thank you to all for your help
I will try to repair the broken or removed capacitors and I will check the processors in a motherboard.

In the past Intel had a DOS utility for CPU identification on its website - it is attached below here:
It does not provide S-specs for individual steppings but it does the rest.

Only one more question: Do you know the reason why the people remove the cartridges?
Thank you again. Regards

noob recyclers salvage the aluminum heatsink and sell the board to pro recyclers for gold recovery, specially those PII cpus have the highest amount of gold in them.

These are my guesses, considering the rating and placement of the cache chips:

Pentium II 350MHz or 400MHz (chips rated at 5ns).
Pentium II 300MHz (7ns).
Pentium II 300 - 400MHz (4.4ns) - even though the chips are rated for 225MHz, it's probably not Pentium II450MHz, as that CPU has flip package, the same as the Katmai
Pentium III 450MHz Katmai (brown chip).
