I wonder if a roster could be compiled of those cars which have been scrapped due to wrecks, and the cars they have exchanged numbers with?

There is a lot of information out there but I don't believe that anyone has compiled a comprehensive list of all Standard re-numberings.

One complicating factor was the use of scrapping numbers. Cars would be scrapped with the numbers of another car in order to preserve the numbering sequence.

Complete lists of the IRT el fleet and the IND Arnine fleet with disposition have been done by Mr.Eric Ostustowicz for the Electric Railroads Association.

The Triplexes were docile. Two of them went toe-to-toe in 1955 and the end result was one good unit was salvaged from both of them.
