March 782s are a bit of a mare because very few numbers are given in period in journals. Most that are are given in 79 or 80 and you can just about trace back to 78. Apart from that one is forced to rely on F1R who may well be at their most unreliable at this point!
There is also the 782/78B issue as Dave points out. This is more clear cut in the US than Japan where several 782s were probably converted into Atlantic/Pacific formula as time went by.
Of Dave's list I think 9 and 15 are 78Bs rather than 782s.
Here's my list with sources
782-1 Debuts with Giacomelli at 1977 Donington F2. Either this car or chassis 5 to David Franklin for hillclimbing, 1979
2: Toleman Group: Rad Dougall [F1R]; 1979: Paul Smith for UK Atlantic [ex Dougall and number given by AS] Retained to 1981
3 Not known
4: Not known
5: Patrick Neve, possibly the Bob Salisbury car - see below
6: Alan Docking for Alex Ribiero. 1979 Phil Dowsett [AS & MN 'ex Ribiero'. 1982: Dave Hoban [noted by Jeremy Jackson]
7: Works: Giacomelli 1978 car, this or 1 to Franklin, the other probably to Japan
8: Works: Surer

13: Project 4: Ingo Hoffmann
14: Project 4: Eddie Cheever. 1979: Works: Eje Elgh in NZ then returned to UK and sold to Charlie Kirkby for UK Atlantic
15: Not known
16: F1R says Maublanc. Dave McKinney has in NZ for Teo Fabi then sold to Ken Smith to at least 1982. Dave's report says this car was used by Zunino in 78 and I believe him, not F1R
