On my el7 box (which I don't use for these builds) these distros are

ls /etc/mock | grep suse
opensuse-leap-15.1-aarch64.cfg
opensuse-leap-15.1-x86_64.cfg
opensuse-leap-15.2-aarch64.cfg
opensuse-leap-15.2-x86_64.cfg
opensuse-tumbleweed-aarch64.cfg
opensuse-tumbleweed-i586.cfg
opensuse-tumbleweed-ppc64.cfg
opensuse-tumbleweed-ppc64le.cfg
