We have a desk reference manual: IPC-DRM-18, Component Identification $20 IPC members / $40 nonmembers It is a comprehensive reference manual that contains color phtographs and full description of more than 40 of the most commonly used through-hole and surface mount components, interconnections and hardware. Also included is a terminology section with quick facts on polarity, orientation, lead styles, and CRDs. It also has a section on band coding. IPC does not determine the CRDs. I believe EIA or IEEE does.

I was thinking that there might be a spec such as IPC-SM-782 but for leaded devices.
