OK:

DW_UT_compile -> DW_TAG_compile_unit (in debug_info)
DW_UT_type -> DW_TAG_type_unit (in debug_info)
DW_UT_partial -> DW_TAG_partial_unit (in debug_info)
DW_UT_skeleton -> DW_TAG_skeleton_unit (in debug_info)
DW_UT_split_unit -> DW_TAG_compile_unit (in debug_info.dwo)
DW_UT_split_type -> DW_TAG_type_unit (in debug_info.dwo)

(this mapping comes from 7.5.1.* bullet 3 (unit_type))

Is that sufficient information to address your uncertainty? Or are there
other questions/have I misunderstood your uncertainty?
