Aluminum alloys have a FCC crystal structure and low stacking fault energy, which means that dislocation cross slip is extensive, and therefore they do not significantly strain harden. 2014-T6 will be in the same range as the other two alloys, probably closer to 7075.
I found the reference below and it looks like the strain hardening exponent reported for 2014-T6 is 0.064 +/- .003
