Not to mention, eidetic memory is not infalliable. Meaning, Sheldon can know everything he's ever seen, heard, or experienced, but like a rolodex, the information is there, but not necessarily at the front. If he were asked which was which, he might not only tell them properly, but give an entire story about how Leonard bought them, but as an off-hand comment, might mess up and label them incorrectly. He might also not know, if the subject doesn't interest, as in another episode where he has no idea what Radiohead is.

Still, there are quite a lot of mistakes. I should imagine it would be hard not to make them, but there are things like the episode Fuzzy Boots where an upset Leonard wants to get a cat and mentions Sheldon's asthma. However, for the rest of the entire show, Leonard is the one who has asthma and Sheldon is the one who likes cats and uses them to fill an emotion void when Amy leaves, but Leonard seems to hate them. Sheldon nevers says anything about asthma nor shows any symptoms throughout the rest of the show.
