I substitute all crystal malts with Weyermann products, because only them I can get in my LHBS.
When I recalculate the colors I see that:
Caramunich I has 40-50 Lovibond (they dont give exact number, only range)
Caramunich II has 56-66 Lovibond
Caramunich III has 71-81 Lovibond
So in my opinion proper substitution will be:
Crystal 40 = Caramunich I
Crystal 60 = Caramunich II
Crystal 80 = Caramunich III
BUT, when I look at substitution chart:
KotMF: Malt Name Comparison Chart
they propose:
Crystal 40 = Caramunich II
Crystal 60 = Caramunich III
Crystal 80 - no sub
WTF?
