The ones we know include Itachi (Nine-Tails), Kisame (Four-Tails), Deidara (One-Tails), Hidan (Two-Tails), Obito/Tobi (Three-Tails) which can be counted as Sasori's tailed beast. After losing members due to them be killed off Kisame was sent (Eight-Tails), Pain (Nine-Tails). So the assigned tailed beasts which include the (Seven Tails), (Five-Tails), the (Six-Tails) not counting the anime, and the (Eight-Tails) are the only ones we don't know. However if I were to guess, I think that Kakuzu would have probably been assigned the (Seven-Tails) being he was from Takigakure and knew how to get into the village. The eight tails was assigned by Taka and failed then by Kisame and failed. Roshi the four tails jinchuriki was captured by Kisame. And Hidan and Kakuzu took on the two tails. Pain captured the six tails jinchuriki but too bad it was anime exclusive but since they posted the fight might as well give it to him since he never captured a jinchuriki as far as we know. Kakuzu seemed like a good guess to have foughten the seven tails jinchuriki. I'd want to think Konan took on one of these jinchuriki's. I mean practically every Akatsuki member had an assigned jinchuriki to capture. I doubt Orochimaru captured one seeing how he never made any references to capturing one but you never know. We can assume that the other jinchurikis were captured between Naruto and before Shippuden. It couldn't have been a big time skip of capturing them.
