The OXD 30cwt GS Cargo version was not built after about 1941. The final serial number of OY chassis for 1945 was 93385. It is not likely that anymore were built as the army was swimming in vehicles by the end of the war.
According to Bart Vanderveen's Bedford book the Bedford OY chassis numbers started at 21001, so subtract that from the last vehicle number of 93385 and you have the total built.
The only way you will find a contract number is if the small plate is still in the cab or if the postwar rebuild plate is on the chassis under the nearside of the cab. This if fitted will have the postwar army rego number and if the Key Card is available from RLC Museum, it will have the wartime census number and contract number on it.
