Tracing "XKV" Land Rovers

Ey up all,
My interest rekindled by a discussion I've been having with
Arjan, I'm wondering anyone knows a bit about the whereabouts of
any of these Land Rovers. Back in 2011 I found out about my S3
being a Press Fleet car that was used in '82 for the
County/HiCap launch at Blenheim. The registration, XKV 415X, was
the giveaway according to the bloke who tipped me off at the
time - he told me there was a whole block of similar numbers
that went to press and/or development hacks.
Anyway, I then did some digging and came up with the following
list, which is probably out of date by now regarding things
on/off the road. With mine hopefully appearing back on the road
this summer it would be super if I could trace some of the
others and organise a little reunion! Please can anyone help?
up to XKV 409X - allocated to Vauxhall
XKV 410X - 109 2.25 Pickup (can comfirm as a HiCap as it has
been in LRO), green, off road since 2006
XKV 411X - Stage 1 pickup, red, off road since 99
XKV 412X - Stage 1 pickup, red, off road since 03
XKV 413X - Range Rover, white, does not exist on DVLA database
any more
XKV 414X - Range Rover, blue, does not exist on DVLA database
any more
XKV 415X - 88 2.25 CSW, red, on road, confirmed period feature
in Autocar
XKV 416X - Stage 1 CSW, red, off road since 07
XKV 417X - Stage 1 CSW, brown, on road
XKV 418X - 88 2.25 CSW, brown, on road
XKV 419X - 109 2.25 CSW, cream, off road since 06
XKV 420X - Stage 1 CSW, confirmed multiple period magazine
features, listed as brown but I could have sworn I've seen a
picture of it in green. does not exist on DVLA database any more
XKV 421X - 109 pickup, green, listed as 3860cc despite
originally registered as a 2.25 - a 3.9 V8 conversion? off road
since 02
XKV 422X - 109 2.25 diesel, brown, off road since 83
XKV 423X - 109 CSW, listed as 2.0 diesel in blue despite being
registered as a brown 2.25. off road since 83. a factory mule
with a prima engine?
XKV 424X onwards - allocated to Austin/Morris
