I just spotted Dr. Robert K. Stone is 7.+15 in your list. Don't know if this helps, these are the names on the bottom of the Berghaus engraving as I could figure out:
-left half:
Mr. J. Ulike - Mr. H. Ulike - Mr. G. Welles - Mr. Farnsworth/Mr Farnsworth Jr. - Chief Justice Chase/Surgeon Stone (?) - Mr. Colfax - Postmaster Dennisson (?)

-right half, from the left:
Mr. Proctor - Mr Peterson - Charles Sumner - Robert Lincoln - ...F....(???)/Surgeon General Barnes - ? (General Meigs?) - Surgeon Crane - General Halleck - Mr. Safford - Mr. Stanton

Thanks Eva! 7 and 15 (in my key) ???? Of course that's a mistake, sorry, don't know why I gave two persons the same name. (7) is Dr. Stone and (15) is (I'm sure) Rufus F. Andrews, Surveyor of the port of New York during the Lincoln administration.

(5) Petersen Jr. ---- I'm pretty sure

(16) Augur? That was a difficult one. I've made a new examination by inverting the picture and using blue and red filters. Augur is definitely not right as you suspected. However Meigs is also not right, because there is no "g" in the name. There are 5 letters and the name is beginning with "M" and has an "a" in it. It's Gen. Meade (I'm sure)
