Although I'm having trouble figuring out the difference between a Porenwalze and a Tiefporrolle. In fact, "check roller" might be better applied to a Tiefporrolle...

Reference information:
This website has some of the terms you're looking for, but only in German, with photos of the brushes (at least Modler and Birkenmodler are there). The English translations might be a bit trickier... I'll see what I can find.
