Agreed it's not well documented.
Not ideal but you may get close by using BR's 40 man roster and checking box scores and transactions both on BR to figure it out. For example the Dodgers used 14 players opening day 1951. The transactions log shows the players leaving and coming to Brooklyn so it may get most of them via subtraction and addition.
