Roachboy, I've always believed he did ALL the arranging for them (string, brass, woodwind, percussion, whatever). I remember seeing an interview with him where he described that they would come to him and say things like, "George, I want some old-fashioned sounding brass on this song, please," and it was completely up to him at that point.
I also love reading about all the non-standard ways he and the Beatles mutually discovered to record standard instruments, such as; microphones stuck down into the bells of brass instruments, microphones attached to headphones, then put around violins, vocals sent through the Leslie amp in a Hammond organ, etc.
