Can't you just match them up with the wires on the engine? If you're already removed all the wires, then go by length. Start with the longest wires and put them on the plugs the farthest distance away from the distributor. Work from long to short and you should find a match for them.

They bend the wires to fit around the exhaust or some other obstruction. If you have any difficulty putting a straight end onto a plug, then it probably needs a bent one to fit into place.

One more note. Not sure if you know this, but the wire ends that go into the distributor are always bent.
