The request from Chris had me digging through my archives this evening and in the process I found some other VINs I had reference to, most in text format from old emails. I got started compiling the rest of the list based on known patterns, however I can not be totally confident in my results due to a problem I will explain later.
If the VIN listed below is simply based on the known pattern and calculated check digit I have marked them as "assumed", otherwise I left a note as to the reference/s used to verify them. I put them in Code tables so the post wouldn't be a mile long.

I did not include 'XP1 LM' or '56XPGT' on those last two lists as I am really not sure how they would have formatted the final three positions of their VINs to denote chassis numbers. Maybe the GT prototype simply ends in "056", but the LM prototype is anyone's guess. I also think the year on the LM prototype will be an "S", not a "T".
Update - 56XPGT = SA9AB5BC1T1048056 - M.S.O records
It's late, so I'm not going to put together the list of potential GTR VINs now. Actually, I am going outside to watch the lunar eclipse.
opcorn: If someone else wants to do a list for the GTRs we've seen plates on, be my guest.
Now for the problem, and it's a big one - a lot of the "assumed" VINs may be inaccurate.
I first stumbled upon it with the VIN for #051. We know #051 was built in 1996 so the VIN should contain a "T" to designate the year of manufacture in the 10th position. However, in the registration that Roger provided it's clearly an "S" identifying 1995. It's hard to say just how many VINs in the list above may be wrong because of a difference in the year of manufacture and the year the VIN was assigned. For all the ones with a variance, both the 9th and 10th positions will be inaccurate. I'm betting towards the end of the list that there may be a problem with many of the assumed ones, so do not take this list as even being close to 100% accurate until each one is confirmed through another source. In fact, once I discovered the problem I almost didn't complete the post as I don't like wrong information floating around.

As for the text based discrepancies I encountered from my sources:
Chassis #037 listed VIN SA9A
AB5A
68
51048037 - for starters, that's a total of 18 characters - the "A" in the 5th position is a duplicate of the previous character. Also the "6" should be a "C" and the 8th to the last should be an "S". The VIN checks out when I make the logical corrections.
Chassis #055 was listed with VIN SA9AB5AC6W1048055 - the "W" was horribly inaccurate for the year and the check digit was not valid even before I corrected the year to a "T". What was listed was an invalid VIN so I think the assumption on the list above is accurate or at least closer to it. You'll notice that the first 14 characters here are identical to the next entry, so I think someone just goofed on Ralph's F1s.
Chassis #074 listed VIN SA9AB5AC6W1048074. This discrepancy could be identical to the chassis #051 scenario where the car was assigned a VIN that doesn't match the year it was completed. In fact the check digit on this VIN checks out, so it could be that the one on my list is inaccurate and this one is correct.
Finally I noted on the list that I had a photo reference for chassis #028's VIN. Most will have this shot already, but probably just forgot about it:
