Pat's Boxes is the most comprehensive guide to Matchbox boxes known to modern man. It does indeed provide the exact information you seek:

http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk/lesneyonline/

Go to the boxes Main Page and you will find all the dates.

That said, left over boxes continued to be used up until gone. Due to this some models came in an older style box past the release dates of newer boxes. So no end dates are iron clad with regard to when a box stopped being used.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
