There does seem to be some mixed reports of how many are left. Probably
depends on just what you are counting, ie just pillar boxes, or wall
boxes as well, and do you count boxes no longer in use, or in private
collections, or in other countries etc.
Apparently some had the doors replaced, with a different cypher.
This report from Royal Mail says:
http://www.royalmailgroup.com/sites/default/files/Royal%20Mail%20Post%20Boxes%20Heritage%20Agreement.pdf
"The Letter Box Study Group has identified 171 boxes surviving from the
short 1936 reign of Edward VIII."
The Letter Box Study Group probably have a list, but only available to
paying members.
Currently 141 mapped in OSM. Of those, 138 are tagged as pillar, and 3 wall.
And no disused EVIIIR postboxes mapped yet?
