Paul,
Tigers In Combat I & II tracks vehicle gains and combat losses like a diary day by day chronologically by date. It however does not give chassis numbers. Below is an example from Tigers In Combat I on the 502nd on 22 Sept 1942 (Page 83):
22.09.42: After crossing a causeway, 1 Pz III is knocked out. One Tiger is hit and breaks down after engine failure, the others get bogged down. 3 tanks can be recovered. The one that moved furthest is under constant enemy fire. Its destruction is strictly prohibited by the OKH.
25.11.42: Finally, the Tiger bogged down on 22.09.42 is blown up.
The book also offers Tiger losses by date throughout the war in another quick reference chart. It records the loss (cause noted if known) and then the number of Tigers left in the unit under the date of loss.
Organizational charts are provided illustrating each Company organized into platoons with Tigers with turret numbers in December 1942, February 1943, Spring 1943, etc.
The beginning of the book provides a brief description of color and markings for the BN at different points throughout the war. And of course there is 41 pages of 502nd pictures (in Tigers In Combat #1). Example initial delivery of gray Tigers without turret storage boxes.
Sorry I can't give you chassis numbers.
