With regard to diesel locomotives used for stock movements of Networker stock, they would most likely be Old Oak Common based Class 47's. But during this period the OOC fleet was in a state of transition with Class 50's being phased out of service, and OOC receiving former Stratford Class 47/4's and ex-Scottish Class 47/7's. This link shows a couple of such views: http://www.semgonline.com/gallery/transvehs.html
eastwestdivide's suggestion for freight is an interesting one, as the Angerstein Wharf as these would be double-headed by Class 33's: http://anthonykay.smugmug.com/TrainsClassbyClass/Class-33/17212420_5Xng99/1485436810_kS8j4rz#!i=1485436810&k=kS8j4rz
During the period in question departmental stock for use as De-Icer and Sandtite workings would commonly be ex 4-Sub motor vehicles: http://www.kentrail.org.uk/margate_gala.htm

Although, the locomotives used at specific sites might to different, it might be a useful resource for wagons, equipment and handling procedures etc..
