As far as I know, the archive maps uploads to testing to testing-proposed-updates, and so both end up in t-p-u. There is also testing-security, which first gets uploaded to security-master.debian.org and then also gets mapped to t-p-u when uploaded to ftp-master. But I wonder why we need such a list in policy. A few examples might be useful, but this more looks like something for the developers reference to me.
