Start by looking at the technical information available on this website. You'll find a copy of the US Army's evaluation of a captured Type 82. I believe you may also find the British equivalent too. Both will give you useful technical information, but certainly not some sort of blow-by-blow recount of the changes that occurred over the production run of the Type 82. Perhaps someone knows of such a work, but I don't think I've ever heard of one.
