No. She wouldn't. In train orders and clearance cards she would be listed as D&RGW (or perhaps just "RG") 453. "Foreign" engines are identified by road name (initials) and number. Company engines just by number. For example an order might state, "Engines 455 and D&RGW 453 run as one extra Ridgway to Peak, two extras Peak to Vance Jct."

Fantastic photos though and thanks for posting.
