Tony - I just scrutinised the main Survivors Register and then I've gradually added things for my own records (or helped cars get added if, like you have found, owners wish it to happen) We should also be interested in, for instance, specials which have recognised 65 or nippy chassis... that aren't marked down as Nippy or 65 now although may be on the Register elsewhere - and its part of their history. Ditto spare bodies or bare chassis - they are all remains which have a bearing on Nippy survival overall for the future.
So I guess perhaps 90% are on the register? (And my future guesstimate based on the fact that you just don't ever throw anything which looks like a Nippy away, however rusty - there are bound to more still in garages and barns until a whole generation passes!)
