First Question James do you mean diesel powered or diesel hauled?
If the former it would probably be the GWR rail cars in the 1930's although the Southern may have had diesel DMUs before that.
If the later it would have been 10000 in December 1947 just in time to be before Nationalisation. I am not sure that it entered revenue earning service until 1948. Will do some more research!
Best wishes,
