the invoices cannot show to which extent the equipment was used (specifically) for Y's needs, since


Explanation:
X was catering to the needs of more than one customer.

This could be said otherwise but the meaning is much simpler and general than "part of a contract". In this context, «lot» means behalf. It is an awkward use of the word.
