RE: escort to Springfield
Kees, the list in Wayne Temple's Abraham Lincoln: From Skeptic to Prophet is similar to what you have.

John Wood
William B. Archer
Jesse K. DuBois
Stephen T. Logan
William F. Elkin
Gustavus P. Koener
James L. Lamb
Samuel H. Treat
Dr. Gershom Jayne
Col. John Williams
Erastus Wright
Capt. James N. Brown
Jacob Bunn
Charles W. Matheny
Elijah Iles
John T. Stuart

Dr. Temple does not mention the specific names of Veterans Reserve Corps members who carried the coffin into the vault. Dr. Temple does mention that it was a very warm day and several people, including Springfield's mayor, suffered mild sunstroke.

Three of these names are also mentioned with regard to Mary Lincoln's funeral in 1882. Jacob Bunn was an active pallbearer, and Samuel H. Treat and Col. John Williams were honorary pallbearers.
