I believe that popular opinion is that the screams are indeed the
"Cruciatus" echoes.

I also think you have hit the nail on the head: what exactly would an
echo of an "Imperius" curse look like? Furthermore, what would the
echo of a failed "Avada Kedavra" look like? The ones which succeeded
produced echoes of the victims; there was no such victim of the failed
curse to show.
