There is a map here...

Don't know how up to date it is.

What a strange choice of stations outside of GL that are included.

Grays/Elstree/Epsom Downs in, Epsom/Dartford/Swanley not.

Given that there are Zones 7-9 for outside of GL it seems strange not to use
them for the stations at the appropriate distance, at least for those places
that the bus network extends to

In the case of Epsom Downs (and Tattenham Corner) I think it could have
been a case of tidying things up by bringing the whole of each branch
into the zones, rather than having loose ends hanging out over the edge.
Epsom itself is a slightly different situation, as there are non-London
ways in and out (and if Epsom comes in, it's not far to Leatherhead. But
seeing as the trains run through to Dorking, why not end there? And
while we are in Dorking, there's not actually that many trains on the
line to Horsham, so why not... and thus serious mission creep appears).

Are Zones 7-9 about funding - maybe Surrey doesn't chip in?
