My Dad was an architect with BR for thirty years starting in 1963 at St Pancras then Marylebone, Croydon and Euston.
Here is his old wooden scale rule with British Railways stamped on it

I’d imagine that the National Rail Museum archive might well have information on the numbering series. I believe that most publicity was also numbered, sometimes with a region code.

There’s probably also a list of numbers used for Network SouthEast & Intercity publicity; if I recall Network SouthEast used an NS code. I believe that Tony Hillman who runs srpublicity website had information on the NSE numbering however, it’s never been added to the website.

Post- COVID it’s probably worth contacting the Rail Museum archive to see what information exists as it’s an interesting topic with a potentially wide audience. It’s also one of the few aspects of railway that haven’t really been explored.
