Sidegrading Incarnate Components

Sidegrading/downgrading only works within the Thread system currently - the vanguard DNA thingymabob is from the shard rewards. If you want to see what you have to choose from, look onder the Incarnate thread tab's various rarities.
Currently it's a one-way conversion from shards to threads, with astral merits being redeemable for shards from the astral vendor in Ouro.

Is there a list of which uncommons you can actually convert other uncommons to?
In the sidegrade selections in the incarnate interface, they say you can converta s specific piece into another uncommon of your choice. However, someone forgot to actually state in each one which uncommons you can choose from.
I just tried to sidegrade a Dimensional Pocket in order to get a Vanguard DNA Metamatrix. However, that was not one of the available selections, and there was no way to know until I actually spent the salvage and threads.
To make matters worse, I selected Choose None, figuring that would just cancel the conversion (that would be a reasonable expectation, right?). Instead, not only did I get nothing, the uncommon salvage and 6 threads were used up anyway as if I had just simply deleted them?
So, how can we find out in game what pieces we can convert to before actually throwing away the components?
