Alright.
Following a system of Great Company Badge > Pack Badge > Pack Number I think will work (and make efficient use of my Space Wolf transfer sheets).
The only trick after settling on that was determining how to group vehicle "packs" for numbering.
I figured the way to go that made the most sense would be to group vehicles based on their relationship to the Iron Wolves' infantry. For example: Grey Hunter transports are grouped together, Long Fang transports are grouped together and support vehicles, MBTs, etc. are grouped together based on their roles within the company. Pack numbering carries over across multiple packs within the same grouping.
Where does that land me? Well, using the information from Warzone Fenris as a starting point, here's where my roster stands currently with assigned vehicle numbers and names. It's a work in progress (i.e. no pack names for the vehicles, yet), but here goes:
