Bizarrely we are now getting projects with more than 25 drives so we run out
of drive letters... But yes you are correct, but it seems the only way to
tell what the drive letter was is to manually write it down at the start, so
if you aren't controlling the whole process there seems to be no way to work
out what the drive letter was? Or is there?

If you are rigourous, you can always get the drives to mount with the same
drive letters on a Windows system - easier with Unity ISIS than the old
Unity.
