I do not think I have seen such table. Plus I expect sometimes it would not be easy to tell which variant of say Walther LP500 it is just by looking at pictures/videos from competitions.

Pardini would be fairly easy. It would be the K12. I would say the top two manufacturers would be Morini and Steyr. Morini or Steyr could be a couple different models. A Pardini most likely the K12, Walter the LP500, FWB the PX8.

Here's how well Steyr's have done at the Olympics:

Morini lists other competitions as well;

Pardini lists lots of Olympic medals, but most of them are for .22 pistols, plus some rifles. Relatively few are from people shooting their air pistols:

Walther, Benelli & Feinwerkbau may have won a few over the years, but the vast majority were won with Steyr's or Morini's.
