If you have a backup you can use it to get the owner/group for
every file at that time. Using a short perl script one could
take a listing of a backup and use it to apply the owner and
group to each matching file. You should even be able to get
back thisngs like the sticky bits if you bother to interpret
that data from the backup.
A tripwire database file will also have that information.
