I can tell you for pre-1852 (which was the big reform, when the whole system was overhauled) and can think of a few papers that have looked at the late 19thC. But I’d not know where to look for the 20th.

Interesting question! Nothing obvious springs to mind, especially as so few of the sources I use say anything about how numerals were spoken aloud!
