X7/X8/X9: 1493, 1501 - 1505, 7601 - 7608
X10/X11: 7611 - 7617, 7621
306/308: 1480, 1495, 1496, 1500, 7628 - 7637
43/44/45: 7501 - 7507, 7509, 7522, 7553 - 7556
47: 1499
51/52/53/54/55: 1574 - 1588
Spares / Schools: 1512, 1513, 1542, 1543, 7524 - 7526, 7557, 7558, 7560, 7562, 7620, 7622 - 7625

Obviously in the real world it's just throw anything on anything.

There is no "official allocation" in this sense, best to take fleet numbers out of the equation when thinking about vehicle allocation, depot allocation is done simply on SD/DD/MB numbers. Board allocation is simply vehicle type, obviously depending on vehicle availability. 

In the case of Blyth and Walkergate, this is a bit off anyway even if there were allocations this detailed.

X7/8/9: Only 5x single deck boards, remaining 9 are DB300. 
X10/11: All DB300. 
306/308: No single deck boards. On paper all are DB300/E400. 
43: One single deck board (the one Blyth board), the rest should be E400s. 
44/45: Two single deck boards, two E400 boards. 
51/2/3/4/5: One is Blyth operated so physically can't be a Streetlite. One Walkergate board is booked a decker. 

43s are now standalone from the 44/45 during the day, only interworking in the peaks. 

7555 isn't a Blyth/Walkergate vehicle either, so that won't be part of it, nor is 1542 officially.
