Hi. It's taken a while but I have found some more charts. Sadly, the first two are incomplete and the date I have is only the year. Still, I want to share them in the hope one day I will find a complete chart.
Below are three charts; two Lifebuoy Hit Parades and one End of year chart.
If anyone has any early charts from 1965 and from 1946 - 1960, please let me know:

Watch this space. I may have more

Great news. I've come across some missing 1960 charts. I'll post these soon as I am still going through them. They are from June 1960.

Found those two at: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/soundshistorical/20140323. It looks like they have recordings of them. They didn't mention the order however another audio file they play grabs snippets from different eras and part of that recording says 'The great pretender' at number 7, so we can assume that the listings above are in coun-down order.

Just a note on the chart I posted for January 6 1957. Clearly the site published the wrong date for this chart as all entries appeared in the '57-60' summary as appearing mostly in May 1957. One song 'Green door' is in April and 'Too Much' is in June, so January 6 is definitely incorrect. They may have meant it as 6th June? As this is a Thursday the normal day for a Lever chart. Also their files might have mistaken 'Jan' for 'Jun'? Who knows? See source: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/soundshistorical/20140615
