Hi Igorn,
From the OKH Dekade Reports filed by the G.I.d.Pz.Tr. Unfortunately the dates between weren't recorded. It's possible that 7. Panzer filed a Monatemeldung for November that may contain the 31 Oct strength, but I don't have a copy of it. Otherwise you will need to dig through the divisional/corps/army records to see if they recorded strengths for other days.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for information. I have also checked a book of Burkhart Mueller-Hillebrand and discovered there a report on the availability of tanks in Group Army South as of 20.11.1943.
