Test Charts for Classic Kodak / Fuji Film Stocks?

Hello! 

 I've just spent the last hour or so in a Google deep dive trying to get an answer to this question, and I'm stumped!

In a nutshell, I want to familiarize myself with the way different popular motion picture film stocks (like 250D, or 500T, etc...) look and render colors

I thought would be easy enough to find some example images of a test chart or color checker shot on  a given film stock....to no success!
I've been scraping around on youtube, searching google images, and scouring the Kodak website. There are plenty of images shot on a stock, but virtually
nothing that was done in a repeatable or analytical manner.

I realize there are a lot of variables with celluloid, so I'm not looking for anything super precise, but I was hoping to find something that at least gave me some broad strokes to work
with in understanding which direction a stock likes to take colors, or how the contrast/DR looks on a grayscale step ramp. 
And while I could just go watch clips shot on a specific stock, that doesn't give me much idea what was done in the grade or was inherent to the stock. 
 

Is anyone around here aware of a place to find these kind of resources?
Does Kodak not have any test chart images available?

Hopeful that someone out there has found something!

Thanks!
