Pablo Hidalgo's
GI Joe vs Cobra: The Essential Guide
seems to use a combination of the Marvel Comics, DDP Comics, filecards, and part of the Sunbow animation continuities and combines them into a "meta-continuity" if you will, cherry-picking information as appropriate to fill in gaps or to explain inconsistencies between depictions. It's not perfect, but it's as good as any I've found as a set of comprehensive overviews of every major character through all the numerous interpretations (filecard/action figure, comics & animation).
The Data Desk Handbooks are a companion 2-issue mini-series to the Devil's Due Production comics from a couple of years back. As such, they reference mostly the DDP continuity (which itself is partially rooted in Larry Hama's GI Joe comics from Marvel).
