This doesn't mean I disbelieve your numbers for all these Parties,it is just the case that I am unaware of where to look or find genuine and accurate statistics because the numbers are changing almost by the day,just look at the bye-elections that take place..
Interesting though.

The Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Labour know exactly how many councillors they have. Each party has their own Councillors Association (normal membership fee £25) Every single councillor has to join this association. The parties keep accurate weekly lists of the number of councillors they have. All parties produce their own weekly 'pending' list of bye-elections.
It is bonkers to claim councillors as our own when they campaign and stand as independents.
